Looking for a traditional big-buffet-at-a-resort sort of feast for the day before Boxing Day, are you? A righteous nomfest with which to culinarily note the passing of Pikamas? This elegant place out in the Lost Pines will do you up right, with fresh seafood starters including oysters and jumbo shrimp, a carving station with pepper-crusted sirloin and a bone-in steamship ham, a variety of entrée selections, and – this is the real draw – a gourmet mac-and-cheese station where you can customize the pasta with your choice of cheddar or Swiss cheese and toppings of crab, mushrooms, caramelized onions, smoked brisket, and more. Note: CALL FOR RESERVATIONS.

Ah, it's because they do stuff like this that we love the W Hotel in general and that TRACE space in particular. This, in this case, is that guests can now snuggle up with furry blankets and sip specialty cocktails from the Krampus bar menu, all while staying cozy in their own private igloo (well, "igloo," anyway) surrounded by the holiday lights outdoors on TRACE's patio. Never mind searching for some northwest passage, we suggest, citizen explorer: just hie yourself Downtown for a comfort-focused, wannabe-wintery rendezvous.
