Friendsgiving is all about gathering around the table, sharing good food and celebrating the people who make the season special. On Wednesday, November 18, Halifax at W Hoboken invites friends and families to enjoy a festive, three-course, family-style dinner created by Executive Chef Seadon Shouse, featuring creative interpretations of holiday favorites, locally sourced seasonal ingredients and the restaurant’s signature Atlantic coastal approach to cooking.
Priced at $49 per person and $25 for children under 12, the Friendsgiving feast offers a delicious and relaxed way to celebrate the season, prepared by the Chef and sure to delight the senses. With its emphasis on locally sourced ingredients, house-made preparations and seasonal menus, the restaurant brings a distinctive culinary perspective to the traditional Friendsgiving celebration.
The evening begins with two starters served family-style: Potato Leek Soup, finished with leek ash oil and smoked ham, and a colorful Fall Harvest Salad featuring pickled apples, butternut squash, beets, goat cheese, candied pumpkin seeds, arugula and balsamic vinaigrette.
For the main course, guests choose two dishes for the table to share from four seasonal offerings:
- Turkey Milanese, served with cranberry-mustard seed chutney, shaved fennel, roasted cauliflower and arugula, offers a creative twist on traditional holiday turkey.
- Pecan Brown Sugar Glazed Pork Loin is accompanied by mashed potatoes, roasted Brussels sprouts and a rich pecan glaze.
- Rigatoni Bolognese features a hearty, slow-cooked ragù of veal, beef and pork with tomato, Parmesan and basil.
- Fall Orecchiette celebrates the harvest with local squash, brown butter, cranberries, Parmesan and arugula.
The celebration concludes with a Pie Puff Trio, featuring three holiday-inspired fillings: apple pie, pumpkin mousse and bourbon pecan ganache, served family-style.
Specially priced wines will also be available for the evening at $10 per glass or $40 per bottle, including Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Sangiovese.
