WASHINGTON, DC — Penn Quarter’s luxe restaurant and bar Dirty Habit is celebrating New Year’s Eve in style, inviting Washingtonians for a feast of global cuisine and expertly crafted libations. Tastemakers seeking to indulge before evening festivities can delight in a special prix-fixe dinner menu offered until 8:00 p.m. designed by Executive Chef Kyoo Eom and Beverage Manager Drew Hairston. In the morning, guests can get a glimpse into 2020 at Dirty Habit’s fourth annual New Year’s Day “Fortune Teller’s Brunch.”
New Year’s Eve Special Prix-Fixe Dinner
Available as a four-course meal for $72 per person, Chef Kyoo will offer a range of special dishes for the occasion. First-course options include French onion soup made with rich, braised short rib, caramelized onion and thyme, topped with gruyere cheese and croutons; and Alaska snow crab garnished with pickled radish, chives, fennel, caviar, citrus aioli and orange-champagne foam. Chef Kyoo has sourced beautiful winter truffles available as an optional mid-course for $23. Enjoy them shaved atop chestnut raviolini with pine nut, Castelvetrano olive and lemon; hand rolled ricotta gnocchi with crispy prosciutto; or rich Acquerello-aged carnaroli rice with mascarpone.
Main course selections include Dirty Habit’s signature Chilean seabass seared and stacked with a hearty shrimp rice cake drizzled in soy-honey glaze, sautéed spinach and scallions; roasted lamb rack served with crispy polenta, onion purée and stone ground mustard; and tournedos Rossini, a voluptuous presentation of filet mignon topped with seared foie gras, brioche, sautéed spinach and Rossini sauce. End the meal, and the year, with baked Alaska flambeed tableside; German chocolate cake; or a passion fruit tart.
Every item on the special New Year’s Eve menu will also be available a la carte.
