Top of the Hub Celebrates New Year's Eve with Early & Late Seatings

Cocktails, Dinner, Dancing, Spectacular Views, Plus a Champagne Toast -- Entertainment by Do I Do

Top of the Hub begins a new tradition this New Year’s Eve by offering two convenient seatings for guests rather than one evening-long party. Reservations for the restaurant’s festive, four course prix-fixe dinner on Thursday, December 31, are available for either a First Seating between 5:00 and 6:30 p.m. or a Second Seating between 8:30 and 10 p.m. Accompanied by sweeping views of the city from the 52nd floor of The Prudential Tower, Top Of The Hub is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.

In explaining the new policy, General Manager Peter Pagagelis said, “By offering two seatings, our guests have the flexibility to gather with friends and family to enjoy a wonderful dinner -- including entertainment and a champagne toast -- at the time of their choosing, while also allowing time to participate in other New Year’s activities, perhaps visiting some of the city’s many First Night celebrations either before or after dining.”

First Seating reservations are available for $125.00 per person; Second Seating reservations are available for $175.00 per person. Pricing is exclusive of beverages, tax and gratuity. Credit card reservations may be made by calling the restaurant directly at 6 1 7 - 5 3 6 - 1 7 7 5. This is a 21+ event. Guests are encouraged to “Dress to Impress.”
