Where to Celebrate the New Year in D.C. | Eater DC

"Chef Marcus Samuelsson’s NoMA trifecta is closing out 2025 with a full slate of New Year’s celebrations, from an all-day rooftop happy hour at rooftop bar Sly to a five-course prix-fixe dinner at Marcus DC, capped by a masquerade ball at Goodie Lounge. Sly keeps things casual with light bites and seasonal cocktails served all day. At Marcus DC, the countdown menu features dishes like grilled tiger prawn with avocado and mango salsa macha, kingfish with nine-grain rice and collard kimchi, wagyu ribeye with guajillo jus and foie ganache, and halibut cheek with yassa cuttlefish, plus optional truffle upgrades. Dessert lands on baobab mousse with rooibos foam and pickled Asian pear compote." - Vinciane Ngomsi
