Where to Dine and Drink on New Year’s Eve in D.C. | Eater DC

"The newly opened Elena James in Chevy Chase is going the luxe route with a truffle experience and a 6-course menu. Each course features truffles in various renditions, starting with an amuse of truffled arancini, followed by winter parsnip and pear soup with black truffle toasted hazelnuts. Additional courses include a classic French omelette, wild forest mushroom ravioli with truffle butter, and to finish, pine nut olive oil cake with truffled ice cream, toasted white chocolate and candied pine nuts. It begins at $150 per person with an additional $100 per person for fresh truffle, shaved tableside. The team’s D.C. siblings also have NYE plans. Opal offers a 4-course menu of butternut squash agnolotti, beef Wellington and bananas foster for $100 per person. And Nina May’s family-style spread ($100) includes scallop carpaccio with winter citrus, dry aged prime rib, and basque cheesecake. Make reservations here." - Vinciane Ngomsi
