New Year's Feasts
Believe it or not, a tradition in several South American countries to ring in the New Year requires that people don a pair of yellow underpants to promote luck in the year to come. Here at yourRestaurants - while believing yellow to be a beautiful colour - we want to offer people all around Australia some great restaurants to help them ring in the New Year in style and comfort - and, if at all possible, with as few underwear changes as necessary.
