Sky-High Entertaining for the Holiday Season

With the holiday season officially underway, I wanted to share a fun and timely round-up of new luxury buildings that offer exceptional dining and entertaining spaces. Holiday entertaining is no easy task and while hosting the party has its benefits (hello never having to leave your home), there are some major drawbacks - namely the pre- and post-event cleanup. 

Fortunately, some of today’s developers are integrating the ultimate solution into their sought-after condominiums: high design dining and entertainment spaces outfitted with top-of-the-line catering kitchens. Available for private parties and reservations, these amenity spaces retain the comfort and ease of remaining in one’s building, without the added stress and hassle of hosting guests in your actual home. Below are some of today’s most luxurious buildings and their dining and entertainment amenity spaces.
