"A New Year’s Eve dinner is cool. But a New Year’s Eve gala dinner? Cooler. ABC Kitchen in Flatiron is having one of the latter, and we’re all invited. The seasonal Jean-Georges restaurant will offer their normal a la carte menu from 5-7pm, but at 8pm the real party starts. They’ll be doing a $228 five-course menu, with a champagne toast at midnight, and a party to follow. Book your reservations here." - willa moore
