Reveillon is this special things all the really good New Orleans restaurants do. The dinners are 4-5 courses, and are usually eaten before heading to midnight mass. It's such a great tradition.

However, a restaurant crawl might work, too.

This sounds like the Northeastern Italian tradition of the Seven Fishes where you eat all night long till midnight Mass.
MANgo calls it the Gavone Dinner.
