If you prefer to leave the cooking to someone else when you ring in 2026, consider ordering your New Year’s Eve dinner or New Year’s Day meal from a grocery store, caterer, or restaurant.
We’ve put together a list of businesses in the Triangle where you can order a fully-cooked New Year’s meal. There are even a couple of “traditional, lucky New Year’s Day meals” available!
In many cases, you’ll pick up the meal in advance, and you’ll heat it up yourself. In all cases, you need to order in advance.
If you haven’t planned ahead, though, no worries!
We have also put together a list of restaurants that are open on New Year’s Day.
We are currently updating this list, check back soon!
