New Year's Eve at La Sombra; New Amy's & Phil's on S. Lamar

ROSEDALE — Seems it's time to start making New Year's Eve plans already: La Sombra's is the first we've heard of, with a dinner benefitting Leadership Austin. With music by Cienfuegos, the party lasts from 8:00 to midnight; tickets are $95. (512) 458-1100 [Eaterwire]

SOUTH LAMAR — Austin 360 is reporting new locations of Amy's Ice Cream and Phil's Ice House opening next door to each other on South Lamar at Manchaca later this month. [A360]

RESTAURANT WEEKS — Another restaurant week-type event is in the works, although this one is technically two weeks. Sip & Savor Austin will be from January 16-30 and seems to not have a theme of any sort, but rather focuses on "5-star restaurants and dive bars to swanky nightclubs." Okay!
