I remember that in the last century, people regarded going to restaurants to have New Year’s Eve dinner as a fashion, because it was not only an outstanding manifestation of the improvement of living standards, but also a manifestation of the progress of concepts. Now this method is no longer so unusual. "Convenience and worry-free" is the main reason that attracts consumers to choose to have New Year's Eve dinner in restaurants, and this is what modern people need most.

Therefore, there is still nearly half a month until New Year’s Eve in the Year of the Monkey, and reservations for New Year’s Eve dinners in major hotels and restaurants are almost finished. The reporter recently learned that the big restaurants such as Merrill Lynch Pavilion and Xiao Nanguo are fully booked for New Year's Eve dinners in previous years. Some hotels in the city center even have tables that are hard to find. At present, the pricing of New Year's Eve dinners also changes greatly with different grades. Generally, the price of a table in an ordinary restaurant is between 800-1,000 yuan, with the highest price being nearly 2,000 yuan. Moreover, citizens’ requirements for menus have also changed significantly compared with previous years. In previous years, the "four kings" of whole chicken, whole duck, whole fish and large meat were no longer popular, but were replaced by foods with light taste and nutritious food.

However, there are also some problems with eating New Year's Eve dinner in a hotel, such as the whole hall is noisy, the serving speed is too slow, there are too many guests, the quality of the food is not good, etc. The most common complaint from citizens is that restaurants have repeatedly advanced the opening time due to too many people booking tables. Recently I heard that the first table of a restaurant starts at 16:30. Chinese people have had the habit of keeping the New Year's Eve since ancient times. When the hotel informs you that the second round has arrived, it will undoubtedly be a very disappointing thing.
