The most wonderful time of the year is rapidly heading our way, and what better way to spend it than inside of a true winter wonderland? The ideal way to kick it all of is a visit to Jingle Jangle at The Dead Rabbit on The Rooftop at Pier 17. This cozy holiday cove, nestled in the heart of the Seaport, is endlessly charming to visitors and locals alike with its unique blend of cozy nostalgia, Irish holiday traditions, and dazzling rooftop views.
Last night, we got our own preview of this season’s holiday festivities. We were treated to a sneak peek of what’s shaping up to be one of the most enchanting holiday pop-ups in New York City. And what a sneak peek it was! The setting was pure magic: over-the-top Christmas decor draped across the rooftop, the crisp winter air balanced perfectly by the warm glow of festive lighting, and the sound of holiday classics filling the space.
The Dead Rabbit has always been known for its innovative cocktails and storytelling, but this time they’ve truly outdone themselves. Jingle Jangle is inspired by the charm of nostalgic Irish family celebrations and offers a delightful lineup of festive eats and drinks that will make you feel like you’ve stepped into a holiday postcard.
Highlights include the Naughty List, a decadent hot chocolate topped with a luscious salted caramel cream. Feeling adventurous? Add a boozy kick for an extra layer of indulgence. Meanwhile, the Santa’s Helper brings a touch of bright, zesty refreshment with gin, blood orange, and grapefruit soda—a perfect counterpoint to the winter chill.
To accompany these drinks, you’ll find dishes brimming with hearty, cold-weather flavors. Think rich, comforting bites inspired by Irish sensibilities, available at both the grab-and-go stands and The Tavern.
