Fifty Raffles Place — Sear’s meaty offerings will be accompanied by a side of tasty salads and trimmings

Fifty Raffles Place

There’s plenty going on Level 45 of this lifestyle destination, which houses four dining concepts. This year’s soiree is themed as Shanghai Nights, and guests will be able to move freely between Angie’s Oyster Bar, Empire Sky Lounge and a new area that will serve as the “Red Room.” Each of these spaces will have bar bites and their own distinct music and vibes, be it hip-hop, disco or Top 40 hits. But before that, work your way through the VIP Countdown dinner at Sear with indulgent servings of naked oysters, charcuterie and cheese platters and barbecued meats and seafood such as Roasted Whole Hoisin Chicken and Norwegian Salmon with Ginger, Honey & Dill. When the clock strikes 12, head to the private viewing platform for a birds-eye view of the fireworks and then rave the night away at the Red Room. Tip: Come dressed in your best blend of East and West. Think cheongsams and tuxes, high slits, hats and hair accessories with a lot of red. Tables are priced at $598++ each.
