"This venerable special-occasion destination is living up to its reputation on New Year’s Eve with a six-course tasting ($225 per person) that goes above and beyond with dishes like diver scallop crudo with black truffle, celery root, and tarragon; Hudson Valley duck with wild rice, preserved pear, and lavender; and steak Oscar with king crab, spinach, and bearnaise sauce. Wine pairings from its legendary cellar go for an extra $165." - Ruth Tobias
