Head to The Lafayette, the luxe restaurant inside The Hay Adams, for a full spread of delicious holiday delicacies on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. For the night before, $125 gets you a spread that includes apps like porcini mushroom bisque and tuna takaki, entrees like seared black bass and Hudson Valley duck breast, and lots of desserts like pavlova with candied chestnut cream and a rich chocolate ganache with burnt honey ice cream.
Christmas Day options include both brunch and dinner; take part in a decadent brunch with stations that include hot and cold apps like crab cakes, honeycrisp apple salad, and Maine lobster. The real star is the dessert bar here, which is a sweet lover's dream and is stocked with treats like several Bûche de Noel cakes, tarts, cheesecakes, and macarons. Call the restaurant to reserve.
