The large Mi scusi family, the pasta people to understand us, the carbohydrate people, who are just about everywhere in Milan are organizing activities in various stores in the city, and if you are looking for what to do on New Year’s Eve in Milan you might consider giving them a look. Between quizzettone night and sung dinner night there is different choices. Find it all here. For an evening of good vibes and good carbs.
New Year’s Eve at home
And if you stay home instead, however, you can welcome the New Year in an iconic way just the same. With family or friends. You get together at whose house has the biggest and most capacious. A menu is decided upon. Maybe lots of appetizers to share so you have everything at the table and avoid getting up all the time. Except for the sausage and lentils for midnight. Of necessity. Panettone and/or pandoro with cream, or even without. And bubbles. What’s next? A board game? A movie? A walk downtown for a final drink? In the end, just being together is enough. Maybe you can write down on slips of paper what you want to leave behind from this 2023 and then burn them as a superstitious ritual. Recommendation. Red underwear eh-which is the way tradition dictates.
