This season, you can feel the vibes of holiday excitement with the list of STARR Restaurants Holiday Events happening around town. From limited-time pop-ups to themed soirées and exclusive menus, these events bring the best of the city’s culinary scene together just in time for your seasonal celebrations.
Nothing says the holidays like donning your best-worst sweater, and LMNO’s Ugly Sweater Party promises to bring the warmth and whimsy of the season to life. On Friday, December 20, from 6 pm to 1 am, dress up in your most outrageous knit creation and join like-minded revelers for a night of music, dancing, and spirited beverages. Every beverage purchase gives you a chance to enter a unique gift exchange.
The STARR Holiday Pop-Up event at Barclay Prime on December 21 and 22, from 11 am to 3 pm is a two-day shopping experience for you to snag unique, restaurant-inspired gifts like rigatoni candles, specialty STARR wine, and chic glassware perfect for toasting the new year. Get there early and secure your last-minute gifts while you can.
As the calendar flips to 2025, LMNO is also the place to be on New Year’s Eve. With doors open from 6 pm to 1 am, you can glide into the new year while enjoying festive food, drinks, music, and a midnight toast. In the Main Dining Room, enjoy a complimentary tequila toast at midnight and special menu additions, from spiked Mexican hot chocolate to milk and cookies and savory tamales.
For those craving a more luxurious and opulent transition into 2025, Morimoto’s New Year’s Eve Omakase Experience is a must. This nine-course journey, held at Morimoto, highlights caviar, toro monaka, lobster congee, and other meticulously crafted dishes, culminating in what can only be described as edible art. The $165 per person price (with an optional $95 beverage pairing) grants you access to a tasting that rarely appears on the regular menu.
If panoramic city views and sky-high revelry are more your speed, head to Continental Midtown. As the year winds down and fireworks reflect against the Philly skyline, enjoy classic cocktails—like their iconic Astronaut Martini—and tunes by DJ Corey Curtin. The midnight toast here is as uplifting as the vantage point, ensuring you begin 2025 on a literal and figurative high note.
Across Philly, STARR Restaurants Holiday Events capture the holiday spirit in diverse ways. Whether your heart leans toward a cozy gift hunt at the Barclay Prime pop-up, an energetic dance party at LMNO, an exquisite omakase at Morimoto, or a dazzling rooftop toast at Continental Midtown, there’s a moment for everyone to enjoy.
