New Year's Eats (and Drinks) in Brooklyn

No matter how far behind your are on Christmas shopping, you can still get a jump on your New Year’s plans — but you’ve got to act fast. Over on Chowhound, there’s a thread where users are posting New Year’s Eve prix fixe menus from their favorite outer-borough spots. So far, they’ve listed menus from Convivium Osteria and Cocotte, and both are looking pretty tasty. Any other recommended restaurants to enjoy the final meal of 2006? And for the barflies out there who prefer to ring in the New Year in a blur, which Brooklyn bars have the best parties going on?
