"Ring in the new year in style at the Galleria or Downtown Houston location of one of Houston’s most iconic steakhouses. Settle into Pappas’s cozy yet bustling dining room for its New Year’s Eve dinner ($140 per guest), which includes entrees like filet mignon, veal chop, and broiled salmon. Be sure to treat yourself to one of Pappas’s wine picks — its sommelier is Michelin-recognized." - Marcy de Luna
