15. Olive Garden

Endless breadsticks and hearty pasta dishes await at Olive Garden, which will be open on New Year’s Day. Most locations will operate as usual, though the Times Square outlet will remain closed. Whether you’re dining with family or friends, Olive Garden offers a welcoming atmosphere and comforting Italian-American cuisine. To avoid surprises, check with your local branch for their specific operating hours. With its please-the-masses menu, Olive Garden is a reliable choice for a filling first course to the new year.
