Resolutionary Road
Introducing Your Anti-Resolutions

According to the Mayan calendar, the world will end in 2012. Maybe. So just in case, we’ve gone ahead and replaced your regularly scheduled New Year’s resolutions with something a little more... excessive. If you’re gonna go out, might as well do it on top.

EGG DROP

A $2,500 Omelet

Here’s something you’ll want/be sad to know exists: Day & Night’s Christmas-bonus-draining ostrich omelet. It’s filled with foie gras, lobster, truffles and caviar. Naturally, it comes with a magnum of Dom in case you get thirsty. Or need to wash the taste of cliché out of your mouth.

411:: Available Saturdays, noon-6pm, at Day & Night at Ajna Bar, 25 Little W 12th St, 646-416-6002

S.A.D. SITUATION

A Seasonal Affective Disorder Suite

You hate winter. Yet you’re still too young to invest in a closetful of cruise wear and move to Florida. One completely exorbitant idea: a $10,000-per-night duplex suite at the Gansevoort. Specially designed to cheer you up with tropical umbrella drinks, an on-call healer and Christmas card airbrushing. Not that you need it.

411:: Accepting reservations at all Gansevoort NYC locations

ANIMAL PLANET

Feeding Your Dog Foie Gras

For the puppies in the 1%, Thomas Keller is baking decadent biscuits enriched with foie gras and chicken stock at Bouchon. They taste almost exactly like the actual French delicacy. Only slightly tweaked to suit the taste buds of a four-legged animal that occasionally drinks out of the toilet.

411:: Available at Bouchon Bakery, 1 Rockefeller Plaza, 212-782-3890

THE RUB

An Afternoon’s Worth of Massages

Maybe tomorrow you’ll think of others. Maybe it’ll wait till 2013. But for right now, let’s focus on you... to the tune of an entire day of massages at the Mandarin Oriental. You’ll craft a tailor-made, three-hour spa session (planned over a foot massage, naturally). Then sit back and admire your work.

411:: Available at The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, 80 Columbus Cir, 212-805-8880
