It’s time once again for New Years Eve at the Northern Edge.

Make a night of it

We have more than just food.   Order one of our New Years Eve packages and make it a special night for you and your special someone.  Special guests are invited into the Burgundy Room for a private party with a fine selection of our home-made hors d’oeuvres and champagne to toast in the New Year.

To make your evening both safe and extra special, we also offer an overnight package for two.   We’ll book a room for you at the Lodi Valley Suites right next door.  Feel free to drink and enjoy without having to worry about getting home afterward.  You won’t even need to step outside–the hotel is connected to the Northern Edge.   And to round out the perfect holiday, we’ll include our famous brunch on New Years Day.

Special Packages are on sale at the Lodi Pages.

Lake Wisconsin has a lot of weekenders.   You come up on Friday night, spend your weekend on the lake, and head home Sunday night.   We know what it’s like; we used to do it, too.

You probably don’t venture off the lake much.  You go to the same places you’ve been going for years.  You wait in line for an hour or more until a table opens up, then you pack yourself in among the rest of the people and wait some more.   Breakfast is more of the same, and lunch is often forgotten.

We have a solution for you:  A 5-minute drive to Lodi and the Northern Edge.

And to make it even better, we’ve created a special package just for you!   For a single price, you get a coupon that’s good for 3 meals.  One breakfast, one lunch, one dinner… for one price–a savings of $10.

• $5 towards any regular breakfast
• $10 towards any regular lunch
• $20 towards any regular dinner

That’s $35 worth of wonderful meals for only $25.  Or get the couples coupon and bring a friend.

Order your package online at the Lodi Pages.

And to make it even better, you won’t be packed in like sardines.  Our spacious dining room seats over 100–with plenty of space to walk and relax.  Breakfast and lunches are served in the cafe–bright, clean, and smoke-free.

Have a lot of friends?  Bring them  along!  We have tables for 6, 8, and 12.  If you need more room, we can make it happen–just give us a call as you’re heading out so we can have it ready when you arrive.

Breakfast starts at 5:30 AM, lunches at 11:00 AM.  Both are served until 2:30.  The bar opens at 3:00 PM, dinners are served from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

The fine print: Weekender packages are good for a single weekend only, from Friday noon to Monday noon. Coupon may only be used on regular menu items.  Specials and other promotions are excluded.  No refunds or change given on unused portions.  Coupon MUST be presented.

We all had a great time at the New Years Eve party.  Here are just a couple quick shots of the evening:  Jesse Walker put on a great show, and the dance floor got a real work out.

If you were with us and got some photos of the night, send them to us at photos@NorthernEdgeLodi.com  We’ll put them in the gallery here.

The Northern Edge is proud to welcome the Lodi Farmers’ Market back for it’s 8th year.   The market is here every Friday from late April to late October.

Opening day was cold and cloudy–and still too early for any fresh local vegetables, but there were still vendors selling crafts, meats, and other items.  As the season progresss, and more fresh vegetables ripen, the market will grow.  Stop out any Friday through October and see what the local farmers and artists have to offer.  Then come inside and have a traditional Wisconsin fish fry.

Farmers and fish:  It’s what Fridays are all about at the Northern Edge.
