\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t It was tough, but we made it: 2025 is coming to an end.<\/p>\n
This won\u2019t be a cakewalk, though, as the entire Buenos Aires region will suffer a heatwave throughout the week. And it gets worse: the very high temperatures are set to peak on December 31, when the thermometer is expected to surpass the 40 Celsius mark.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In light of this climatic ordeal, we came up with a list of twelve New Year\u2019s Eve dinner plans that will keep you cool and safe. Here\u2019s a wide range of options, from mid-price eateries to high-end fine dining, including parrillas (of course!), traditional Jewish cuisine, Asian food, and even a couple of Basque-style choices.<\/p>\n
If you had no plans for Wednesday night, as usual the Herald has got you covered. Here are our recommendations:<\/p>\n
