This Thanksgiving, trade the chill of New York’s autumn streets for a warm, festive escape at Jalao, a harvest-bright slice of Dominican paradise in the heart of the city. Jalao invites you to gather, give thanks, and indulge in authentic vibes, exquisite dishes, and delectable drinks with seatings starting at 4:00pm on Thursday November 27, 2025.
Grab your $59 pulse (a $136 value) for a 2 Course Thanksgiving Dinner For Two that includes 2 Entrees, 2 Desserts, and 2 Hours of Unlimited Sangria.
Celebrated by The New Yorker, CBS, and The New York Times for “tapping into many Latin American influences but emphasizing Dominican cuisine,” Jalao is a vision of color & culture with a contemporary twist. Nestled within the ultra-cool, newly minted Radio Hotel, this hidden gem seamlessly blends Latin American feels with Manhattan energy.
Gobble it all up while you devour succulent Herb Roasted Turkey Breast with sausage brioche stuffing, sautéed string beans, and adobo gravy, or Oregano & Garlic Roasted Pernil with beet & potato salad & maduros. A dessert of Chocolate Lava Cake? Yes, please!
Endless homemade Sangria will flow as you're surrounded by your nearest & dearest. Raise a glass, sip, refill, repeat!
This Thanksgiving season, Jalao shines brighter than ever. Celebrated by Forbes for its extraordinary blend of Haitian, Taíno, African, and Spanish influences that come together in a flavorful splash of Dominican bliss, this jewel is tucked inside the boutique Radio Hotel.
As the spirit of gratitude fills the air, head upstairs before dinner and soak in the rooftop lounge’s 360-degree panoramic views of downtown Manhattan, the George Washington Bridge, and the Harlem River. It’s the perfect pre–Thanksgiving moment before settling into the gorgeous interiors.
Jalao evokes the historic Ciudad Colonial of Santo Domingo (also home to the restaurant’s original location) showcasing the delicious cultural and culinary soul of Manhattan’s Little Dominican Republic. Owner Charles Macias brings this passion to life, sharing the flavors and spirit of a community that continues to make an impact on the city.
The restaurant takes its name from a Dominican coconut-and-honey candy, perfectly fitting for a place with such a wow-inducing vibe. Inside, you’ll be surrounded by designer Julio Ortuño’s artistry. Think handcrafted Dominican furniture, brightly colored murals, authentic Carnival masks, whimsical colorful trees, and tabletops painted with scenes from the island.
Your holiday feast is crafted by the powerhouse team of Chef Noemi Guzman, leading the culinary vision overseas, and Food Network–acclaimed Chef Wilmer Chuquillanqui, who heads the kitchen in New York City. Together, they reimagine traditional Dominican cuisine with a modern, elevated flair.
Get ready - this is a Thanksgiving celebration that will truly wow and delight...
