New Year’s Tips & Reminders: Where to Still Get a Table; Southern Pacific Brewing Debuts

All Across Town: OpenTable has just handily shown us how many restaurants still have tables open for two people at prime time tomorrow night, New Year’s Eve. Ame can take you at 9:30, but if you want to go to SPQR you’ll need to go with the old folks at 5:30. [OpenTable]
Also, here’s a roundup of the best new bars of 2011. [7x7]
Mission: This is just a friendly reminder that Southern Pacific Brewing Co. (620 Treat Street) is doing preview parties on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Check Facebook for further details. (Sunday’s thing hasn’t been officially announced yet.) [Grub Street, Earlier]
Chinatown: Here’s someplace not too many people will think to go for New Year’s Day brunch: the downtown Hilton (750 Kearny Street). For $39 you get valet parking, food, and free-flowing champagne at 750 Restaurant and Bar. [Haute Living]
