It’s December 7th and the window for holiday parties is almost closed but not yet! If you’re just getting started or haven’t found a venue for this year’s company celebration, we have three suggestions:

  1. Embrace lunch (it’s friendlier on the wallet, too)
  2. Kick-off 2023 with a holiday party in January
  3. Consider a road less traveled

Venues in the most central locations (i.e. near transportation hubs) are the first to book. If you’re open to a short Uber ride or a bit of a walk, there’s still availability at phenomenal venues that will knock your socks off.

For help booking ASAP: Call (646) 820–8070, submit a Concierge Request or confirm availability directly with venues by clicking Check Availability in their SixPlus profile.
