NOBODY DESERVES IT MORE
If we’re going to be honest, receiving is just as fulfilling as giving. So why don’t you give yourself a gift? Your friendly neighborhood wine-and-liquor store, Frankly Wines, is running a 15% off Treat Yourself sale through Friday. Everything in the store—except most spirits and the stuff that’s already discounted—is on sale! The timing couldn’t be lovelier, with New Year’s just around the corner…. 66 W. Broadway (between Warren and Murray). Sponsored.

SEEN & HEARD
••• 12/26: New business updates—including Drybar, the restaurants coming to 66 Leonard and All Good Things, and a medical office. Hubert Street construction; FEMA Disaster Recovery Center; a hair salon’s new look; fallout shelter answer.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR NEW YEAR’S EVE?
Not worrying about taxis, for one thing! Because local restaurants are each celebrating the holiday in their own fabulous way—burlesque to ’80s music to James Bond to black truffles to celebrity chefs to beyond. No matter what, expect the Champagne to be flowing!
