Why spend New Year's Eve at a crowded bar, surrounded by throngs of people, when you can make a reservation for you and your friends at an amazing restaurant? After all, NYE is the ideal night to eat out, since nearly every hot spot transforms into a one-stop-shop for dinner, drinks, and other assorted revelry. Plus, a solid booking will ensure that you have a seat to retreat to when your heels start killing your feet. With that in mind, we tapped the guys over at the photo-based food discovery app Wine n Dine (free; iTunes) for the best eateries to ring in 2017, by city.

This cult-favorite Italian joint known for its extra thin crust is a favorite of Kendall Jenner's, so you may even be signing yourself up for a Kardashian sighting or two. While NYE calls for Champagne, we'd also recommend taking a peek at the wine shop in the back, curated by award-winning sommelier Helen Johannesen.
