Punzy what is a reveillon dinner? Do you restaurant hop?????? That would be fun if the weather is nice!

Reveillon is this special things all the really good New Orleans restaurants do. The dinners are 4-5 courses, and are usually eaten before heading to midnight mass. It's such a great tradition.

However, a restaurant crawl might work, too.
