We kept saying we’d stay in on NYE…

It’s one of those holidays where the hype all seems a bit too much so we typically prefer to stay in. But when enticed with a last minute French inspired dinner with some of our closest crew it was hard to turn down! Being that we’re doing dry January again this year, we of course fit in a couple more spots throughout the evening that we’d be wanting to (eat&) drink at. The night was a big success! Here’s the rundown;

• Bar Contra — Elevated bar snacks & cocktails

• Sinsa — Newly opened Korean Wine Bar

• Brass — A grand dining room for French inspired cuisine

• Romeo’s — Funky cocktail bar with a fun vibe & open late

We Ate with 6 of YOU!

We wanting to connect IRL so we took 6 people in our community out to lunch. It was the perfect way to meet some of you plus put the spotlight on some of YOUR favorite places in NYC!

‘Eating with Experts’ became it’s own platform

This was our biggest and most fun project of the year! The original question “Where do you eat on your night off?” turned into full blown interviews with industry experts. We got to sit down with some serious icons including Jaques Pépin and Dale DeGroff.
