Last month, the FXExpress Publications, Inc. team held our annual holiday luncheon in The Union League of Philadelphia’s unique two-story wine cellar, Cellar 62. In between laughs, travel recaps, trivia games and delicious food, a great time was had by all.

At a short walking distance from us was the brand-new Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia at Comcast Technology Center, which some of us decided to check out after the luncheon. Luckily, we didn’t have to wait in line — be prepared to stand in one for 45 minutes or more if you don’t have a reservation — and made our way to the breathtaking rooftop.

Having opened its doors this summer, the new Four Seasons features restaurants by famous chefs including Jean-Georges Vongerichten and Greg Vernick. The views from the top are spectacular, and the main lobby has Zen and welcoming vibes despite all the people coming in and out. Personally, this might be my new go-to gem for special occasions and date nights.

Whether you find yourself flying home to be with family, alone in a foreign country experiencing new cultural traditions or working your job’s most-hated NYE night shift, I hope you’re finding joy and happiness this season.

Happy holidays!
