Over the quiet-luxury thing? Head to this glam tasting room, the soigné sister to Rose’s Luxury. Here, you’re encouraged to show up in your shimmery New Year’s Eve best, you may just wind up in bedazzled handcuffs while you scarf down a caviar-topped beggar’s purse, and your Sazerac comes with a dash of (denatured) cyanide. Oh, and the $345 four-course menu is fun, too—whether ravioli inspired by Cheez-Its or an unlikely but winning mash-up of lamb with Black Forest cake. There are extravagant gifts along the way, including ice cream made from Époisses cheese and a big, beautifully packaged take-home burger.
