As the mercury drops in December, New York City transforms into a winter wonderland, with hotels and restaurants unveiling their most coveted cold-weather traditions: winter pop-ups. These temporary dining and drinking setups are not just a respite from the chill, but an experience that elevates going out in the snow to new heights.
From cozy fireside fondue tables to heated rooftop chalets and private furnished igloos, these winter escapes transport patrons to a world of warmth and comfort. Some offer an intimate atmosphere, with plush seating, limited tables, and menus designed for leisurely meals, while others are loud and lively, drawing in the Instagram-obsessed crowd.
While many pop-ups only emerge during the holiday rush, some stay on until January or even February and March, providing a welcome distraction from the post-holiday lull. These temporary installations allow restaurants to experiment with concepts that wouldn't fly elsewhere, breathing new life into their menus.
For those willing to brave the cold, New York City's winter pop-ups offer an unforgettable experience. Whether you're in the mood for a sophisticated evening or an impromptu gathering spot, these unique dining and drinking setups are sure to become a highlight of your winter itinerary.

They sound like the ultimate cozy vibes - who wouldn't want to snuggle up by a fireside fondue table or sip hot cocoa in a heated rooftop chalet? 
And can we talk about how Instagrammable they are?! I need to get my hands on some of these ASAP! 
I'm low-key thinking of planning a winter itinerary just so I can hit up all the pop-ups. And I love that they offer different atmospheres - from intimate and plush to loud and lively. It's like NYC is trying to outdo itself this winter! 
The idea that they offer different atmospheres too is a total win - I'd love to try out one of those intimate spots for a chill dinner, but also hit up the lively ones with friends for a fun night out!
