"Newly opened in 2025, Darling will celebrate 2026 with a McDarling New Year’s Day brunch on Thursday, January 1, from noon to 5 p.m. with a McDonald’s-inspired menu. The restaurant’s first-ever brunch service will include a Big Mac mantou (a steamed bun with cheesy beef, onions, kimchi, and Russian dressing), a McRib bao (a bao bun made with pork rib and Chinese barbecue sauce), a Filet o Fish bao (fried fish on a bao with American cheese), and more whimsical fast food creations. There will also be drag performances and cocktails. Reservations are suggested and can be made online." - Tanya Edwards
