"At Brookline’s Bar Vlaha, diners can expect traditional, rustic food inspired by central Greece’s nomadic shepherds. The restaurant will be open 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. on New Year’s Day, serving dishes like souvla and eggs, which is lamb cooked on a skewer with two fried eggs and a seasonal salad; and hilopites, which is house-made pasta with poached egg, smoked cheese, loukaniko (traditional Greek sausage), brown sugar with olive oil. The Pump the Briki coffee-based cocktail with vodka and sweet Cypriot wine can help turn any hangover around. Book reservations online." - Tanya Edwards
