Hotels and resorts in the city are gearing up to bring in the new year with a host of gala events and special banquets this week.
A large number of restaurants are also offering special menus for the New Year period, with biryani and combination of side dishes featuring high on the list of festive meals.
Among these, Ammikal restaurant on Airport Road is offering pre-booked combination offers of mutton and chicken biryani at prices ranging between ₹949 to ₹2,889.
“Attending New Year parties has become a popular trend among a wider group of residents in the recent years. It is not just singles or professionals, but also families that are interested in spending New Year’s Eve at hotels or public venues as part of a large gathering. Tiruchi’s hospitality sector is adapting to this by scheduling programmes just for this period,” said the manager of a local hotel.
A ‘New Year Kacheri’ is to be held at Hotel Tamil Nadu (Central Bus Stand), with a musical night by disc jockey Astroy and an unlimited spread of 20 varieties of dishes on Wednesday.
