An all-inclusive party, a hotel room, and hangover cure awaits New Years Eve revelers at Okras in Manassas.
Okras Cajun Creole in Downtown Manassas will hold a New Year’s Eve party that will feature a full buffet of favorites from the Big Easy, to include Pene New Orleans with andouille sausage and ham; Cajun deviled eggs and alligator bites.
Drinks will be flowing from the bar, as hurricanes, landmines, and some bourbon from Okra’s private stock are all on the menu.
A high-energy live band will play music from the 80s and 90s, and take requests all night long.
After the party, guests will enjoy a deeply discounted room rate at Olde Town Inn, a short, one-block walk from Okras. This way, those who come out to party don’t have to think about getting behind the wheel of a car.
Those who stay the night at the hotel will be welcomed back to Okras the following day for an individually prepared “hangover” lunch.
While the party is all about fun, Fisher said it was important for Okras to partner with Olde Town Inn to give his guests a place to stay for the night.
“This is a great way to come out and have fun and skip the driving home part,” said Fisher.
