"For those that prefer to observe New Year’s celebrations from above, rather than in the throngs below, Bourbon Steak feels miles above — or at least 34 floors. The menu is always designed for luxury — lobster pot pie, caviar service, and Japanese wagyu are frequent fliers — but New Year’s Eve brings even more luxury and celebratory dining. Choose from two seatings: 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. for a three-course prix fixe, or 7:15 p.m. to 10 p.m. with access to the bar, Bourbon Sky until 1 a.m. where there’ll be live music, dancing, and an excellent firework view of downtown’s fireworks. More info and reservations can be found on the website." - Ellen Fort
