Open Table Launches Private Dining Pages

Filed under: Dining

Booking your holiday party just got a bit easier. OpenTable, the popular online booking service now has private dining pages to make it easier to find a place to hold your next party or private event. The Private Dining pages allow you to browse hundreds of listings, filter by neighborhood, price or cuisine type, and see capacity numbers and view photos of private dining rooms and other event spaces. Once you've narrowed down your choices to a few places you fill out a contact form for each restaurant and someone from the restaurant can answer all your questions. The service is currently available in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. with more cities to come.

Holiday Parties -- A Dying Breed?

by Laura Malesich (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Events

Another holiday tradition may be experiencing downsizing as the economy pinches more and more corporations and individuals this time of year. The celebratory fetes from big companies to neighborhood gatherings are feeling the need to pare down their events this season. More and more people are choosing smaller, less luxurious, and less prestigious parties -- some even opting to not host a party at all -- in anticipation of more economic woes to come or for fear of receiving AIG's corporate-irresponsibility label. Don't expect the Taittinger Champagne or caviar this year -- and maybe not even in 2009.
