    • Macon Bistro and Larder opens at 5PM for dinner with a special NYE tasting menu ($70/person for just food; additional $40/person for an optional wine pairing). Food options from the tasting menu will also be offered a la cart for those who prefer a smaller fare. The latest seating time for dinner is 9:30PM, then there will only be seating at the bar area.

    • Little Beast has extended kitchen hours until 10:30PM.
  • Be careful, not everyplace is open: If you’re of going to one of your standard spots – be sure to check ahead of time,  restaurants like Little Red Fox are closing early or closed on both New Year’s Eve and Day.
  • Looking to stay in, but would still like to toast the new year? Don’t worry, even if celebrating slipped your mind, Magruder’s is open until 8PM – so you’ll have plenty of time to grab that bottle of champagne or wine.
  • Be mindful driving through the neighborhood: If you are the DD for the evening, or otherwise driving through the neighborhood, be extra alert. Lots of people choose to celebrate at places on Connecticut Avenue, and walk home to avoid cabs/Ubers. If they’ve had a few drinks, chances are they won’t just stick to the sidewalks – so please use caution!
  • Don’t forget New Year’s Day: New Year’s Eve not your thing? There’s still plenty going on the next morning!
    • Head to The Avalon to see either Uncut Gems or Little Women, playing at various times throughout the day.
