The Holidays in SoHo
From Christmas and New Year’s Eve to festive work parties and dinners, celebrate the holiday season at Manuela in SoHo with expertly crafted cocktails and seasonal dishes, surrounded by dramatic artwork from renowned New York artists. Whether it’s an intimate gathering in the restaurant, a group dinner in our private dining room, or an exclusive hire of the entire space, each setting is designed to offer a unique atmosphere.
New Year’s Eve at Manuela
We’re ringing in 2026 in style! Join us for a celebratory night full of music, food, drink, and revelry. We’ll be featuring indulgent menu specials like grilled lobster with trout roe beurre blanc, roasted bone marrow with a whiskey sidecar, and our roaming cheese and dessert trolley.
DJ Cassady will be playing tunes from 9:30 pm – 2 am, and from 7:30 pm onward, guests will receive lottery tickets for a chance to win exclusive Manuela prizes. The champagne will be flowing, and we’ll raise a glass together with a complimentary midnight toast.
Holiday Menu
Alongside our seasonal menus, enjoy a specially curated four-course Holiday Menu that captures the essence of winter in every dish. Inspired by the season’s bounty, each course features the finest local ingredients — beautifully prepared and thoughtfully paired to bring warmth, joy and a touch of indulgence to your evening.
Festive Cocktails
Gather your friends, family, or colleagues and raise a glass to the year gone by. Our bar team has crafted festive cocktails and winter-inspired pairings to complement the menu, creating a dining experience that feels both celebratory and personal.
You can also join us for Happy Hour daily from 3:30–5:30pm and 9–11pm Sunday through to Wednesday.
Private Dining
Host your holiday gathering in Manuela’s Private Dining Room, centered around a striking seven-meter mosaic table by Rashid Johnson. Designed to feel both intimate and impressive, the space blends art and atmosphere seamlessly.
