All you can drink? This is how Miami spent New Year’s Eve in 1969

The year is 1969. And Miami knew how to party, of course.

So how did South Florida spend New Year’s Eve as it headed to a new decade: the ‘70s?

With music and revelry, of course. That hasn’t changed.

At the Cafe Pompei at the Eden Roc Hotel in Miami Beach, New Year’s Eve dinner and show cost $22.50 for the Hello Diosa Revue starring Diosa Costello and Don Casino. Same holiday deal at the Deauville, a few miles north, where singer Sergio Franchi took the stage and prime rib was on diners’ plates.

Let’s break open the time capsule for a look at how Miami rang in 1970.
