New Year Plans in Mexico City: Ideas for an Unforgettable Night!

Indulge in traditional foods

New Year's Eve is an incredible time to indulge in traditional foods. One can try bacalao (a salted dried codfish and then prepared). There are also traditional seasonal tipples such as ponche, a fruit punch spiked with rum, and rompope - eggnog. Some other favourites for New Year celebrations are Tequila and mezcal, champagne, and sparkling cider (sidra).

Enjoy New Year's Eve traditions

Talking of traditional foods, why not extend it to some other traditions? One of the Mexican traditions includes eating twelve grapes at midnight and consuming one grape on each strike of the midnight toll. Some parties also herald the New Year by breaking open a piñata. Yet another tradition is to carry an empty suitcase around the block (when planning to travel in the New Year) to attract good fortune in one's future expeditions.

Drink and party

The culinary scene in Mexico City is spectacular, and one must include it in the celebration plans. Reserve a table at a restaurant (https://www.mexicocity.com/v/restaurants/) of your choice in advance for an incredible dining experience. Enjoy the festive dishes and also try some good mezcal cocktails. Don't forget to save space for mouth-watering desserts!
