8 Essential Tips to Ring in 2006 in Style From Gaslamp Restaurant Soleil@k and
ALTITUDE Bar, SoCals Highest Open-Air Bar
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- With the countdown already underway to
2006, time is running out for New Years Eve celebration options. And once
plans are in place, its important to make it through the night and welcome
the arrival of the New Year with a certain style and panache, says Reggie
Parks, manager of Restaurant Soleil@k and ALTITUDE Bar, both at 660 K Street
in Downtowns Gaslamp District.
Soleil@k Restaurant is housed at ground level of the swank San Diego
Gaslamp Marriott (Celebrating its one year anniversary today, the Gaslamp
Marriott was recognized as Best Hotel in the Gaslamp Quarter Associations
2005 Lamplighter Awards.) ALTITUDE, located on the 22nd floor of the hip
hotel, is the regions highest open-air bar.
Parks, who has launched a total of 16 hotels, bars and restaurants in
recent years, including W Hotel San Diego, W Hotel Chicago, Flatotel in New
York City, and Mystic Marriott Resort and Spa in Connecticut, explained:
"Weve thrown some phenomenal parties such as the recent Party Like A Rock
Star Rolling Stones concert celebration so we believe we have a pretty good
idea of what it takes to make your night a success."
Soleil@k and ALTITUDE 8 Key Tips to Celebrate in Good Taste:
1. Dress to impress. Its New Years Eve! Be flashy, but
fashionable -- theres bound to be a digital camera around to catch
any "wardrobe malfunctions."
2. Keep your ID, money and essentials (cell phones/ cameras) close at
hand. Nothing puts a damper on a night faster than a missing wallet or
purse.
3. Indulge, but not to the point that you wont make it through the
night. Drink water between cocktails, pace yourself and enjoy the
evenings fancy hors doeuvres or dinner spread too.
4. Mix and mingle. Dont find yourself talking to the same person at the
stroke of midnight, unless youre sure they are your New Years kiss.
5. If youre single, be sure to make your way over to the person you want
to see more of in 2006 well before the countdown to the New Year
begins.
6. If Tips 1-5 dont apply because you havent yet made plans, dont
panic! Ring in the New Year at Soleil@k (recent star sightings prove
its the place to be and be seen). Call Kat at 619-446-6089 to make a
reservation before its too late.
7. If the skies are clear, go to the 22nd floor of the Gaslamp Marriott.
There youll find Southern Californias highest, hippest sky lounge
and bar, ALTITUDE, which boasts the best 360 degree view of San Diego.
Theres no better place to be at the stroke of midnight.
8. End the night right! Designate a driver, hire a taxi or a limo, or
stay in a hotel near your party destination. Hotel reservations are
still available at many downtown San Diego hotels and the Gaslamp
Marriott has smart room and party packages.
