AAMANNS-COPENHAGEN
The city’s only exclusively Danish restaurant is celebrating New Year’s Eve with a three-course prix-fixe menu created especially for the evening ($85, including a welcome glass of Prosecco, or add wine and cocktail pairing for $65). Afterward, there’s no cover to ring in the new year at the bar—perhaps with Aamanns-Copenhagen’s signature homemade aquavit. Or start the party earlier at the restaurant’s “Taffel” celebration: Enjoy a glass of bubbly and a piece of kransekage (marzipan cake) while watching a live screening of the annual speech by Her Majesty Queen Margarethe II of Denmark, to be followed by a seafood lunch ($75). To reserve, call 212-925-1313 or email info@aamanns-copenhagen.com.
