New York City is a popular destination for the Holidays. Sure, the city is popular all year round, but the streets are normally overflowing with tourists around this time of the year. Sometimes it can be hard to even move on the sidewalks. Then for New Year’s Eve, there’s the ball drop in Times Square and the live performances by musical artists, which is an event on many bucket lists (though if you don’t like extreme cold weather, you might want to remove it from your list). If you’re headed to the Big Apple this Christmas and New Years, we suggest that you check out ‘21’, an upscale restaurant with the feel of an old speakeasy (it use to be one). ’21’ has three sections, each with a distinctive character and dress code.

At the Bar Room, you’ll have a wide selection of choices to eat, like Kaviari Osciètre Prestige Caviar, Shellfish Tower Maine Lobster, the ‘21’ Burger artisanal brioche bun, and other juicy menu items. Gifts from celebrities and politicians hang from the ceiling, making the Bar Room a very commemorative space. Bar Room Dress code: Jackets are required for gentlemen, jeans and sneakers are not permitted.

For an even more prestigious setting, go to the Bar ‘21’ & Lounge, with its dark leather booths and stately chairs. They will pour you some great cocktails and even serve you their Bar ‘21’ smoked salmon Pizza, with lemon ricotta, fried capers, and arugula. Lounge Dress code: Business casual, sneakers are not permitted.

Bar ‘21’ & Lounge

If you think the Bar Room and Bar ‘21’ & Lounge have class, then you will be stunned by the space that is Upstairs at ’21.’ Enjoy a four-course dinner of appetizers like Burgundy Escargot, mid-courses like Lamb Bolognese cavatelli, maybe a Filet Mignon for the main course, and Olive Oil Whipped Potatoes as a side course. If your stomach has enough space, end the meal with a Baileys New York Cheesecake with Jivara chocolate cream, and mandarin coulis. Upstairs: Jackets are required for gentlemen, jeans and sneakers are not permitted.

Upstairs at ’21’

‘21’ is an establishment for an upscale clientele who want to mingle with other like-minded individuals. If you’re in New York for New Year’s Eve and your not headed to Times Square to watch the ball drop, ‘21’ is hosting a celebration in the Bar Room, which includes a four-course meal, live performances, and a midnight champagne toast.

This Christmas, give the gift of luxurious comfort.
