You don’t even have to step outside Sak’s to dine at this celebrity favorite restaurant. L’Avenue at Saks has also partnered with Parisian cafe Angelina, where guests can sip on an old-fashioned hot chocolate or an eclair choclat. Put down your bags and fill your tummy with the signature tuna carpaccio, morel rigatoni, Saks’presso Martini, or the Finest Rhymes cocktail which has been described as a madeline dipped in lime flower tea. Save room for s’aks s’mores, or a fine aux pommes. PRO TIP: If you dine between 5-11PM. You can catch the famous Saks Fifth Avenue Holiday Light Show and holiday windows before or after your dine.
