There were just so many special days, events, cocktails, meals, hotels...I feel like you have enough to fill a book with in just one year's worth--although I guess that's what The Mix posts are for! Cheers to the coming year-- one in which everyone is healthy and free to do the things they want there.
Mary Kate, How right you are about Sir John Soane's house (Sir John Soane's Museum) in London. It's a must. In addition to everything else, it's a masterpiece of renovation, as a "serial renovator" of houses like me notices. (Not that any of the houses that Sue and I have owned have been in the same category with Sir John's.) Happy New Year to you and Robert. Lowell
Happy New Year, Robert & Mary Kate, and congratulations on the big move. The warmth of the community both of you foster is good for this difficult world we find ourselves in - and the Robert A.M. Stern story at the end is beautiful. I love being a part of the Mix (both NY and WI editions). You are both my favorite bons vivants and we are so blessed by your work.
We are grateful you are part of The Mix's world. There will be future Mix events in the coming year. You will, of course, know about them. Happy new year!
This is the nicest thing to say, thank you! We’ll see you soon (we were already back in New York twice in December) —and there’s something planned for January, stayed tuned! Happy New Year to your lovely family, I hope this year is a good one!! ❤️
You guys are the best and we cannot wait to get back there!! It the meantime, we will have to sustain ourselves with the Restaurant Guys Podcast. Happy New Year!

John Soane's house was a revelation to me. I had no idea. Mary Kate got us a private tour.
I love house renovations and would love to see / hear about yours! Maybe in 2026! Happy New Year Lowell —and Sue!!

You've given me a number of places I now have to hit in 2026. And those guys in New Brunswick, NJ are really good looking!!!
Each one better looking than the last!

Can't wait to see where the Mix goes next!
That roast pork sandwich at Tommy DiNic’s is fan-tastic.
Indeed! Can still taste it.
Happy New Year! 🌭
To you, too!
Cheers and happy new year!
HNY to you as well!
Happy New Year Amanda!
LOVE. Happy new year!
Happy New Year to you too, Juliette!
Awesome roundup! My favs are the Martini Expo and the shaved ice cocktail. I hope you hold another expo next year!
Thanks, Eric. You would like those shaved ice cocktails.
