If you’re looking to add a dash of style, and maybe a little tequila, to your Thanksgiving plans this year, Aqimero, located inside the Ritz-Carlton Philadelphia, is serving up two unforgettable holiday experiences in the heart of Center City.
Thanksgiving Eve: Boozy Tea, Aqimero Style
Forget the frantic grocery runs and marathon cooking sessions. On Wednesday, November 26th, Aqimero invites friends and family to kick off the holiday with a playful twist: Thanksgiving Eve Boozy Tea.
Usually a daytime brunch event, this special evening edition runs from 8 p.m. to midnight and offers a four-course tasting menu, each course paired with its own teapot-sized cocktail.
Priced at $95 per guest, Boozy Tea is designed for groups of up to six, making it the perfect pre-holiday gathering spot for those looking to relax, reconnect, and toast the season in a luxurious yet lively setting.
Between the Latin-inspired flavors and the moody glow of the Aqimero lounge and lobby, guests can expect a sophisticated but spirited vibe — the kind of night that blends elegance with just the right amount of buzz.
Reservations are available on OpenTable and tend to go fast for these limited-run events.
Thanksgiving Day: A Feast Without the Fuss
Then, on Thursday, November 27th, from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., Aqimero hosts its highly anticipated Thanksgiving Brunch, a four-course, Latin-inspired feast curated by Chef Richard Sandoval
This year’s menu celebrates both the flavors of fall and the warmth of gathering around the table. Guests will start with butternut squash soup topped with spiced pepitas, followed by herb-brined roasted turkey paired with chipotle-cranberry sauce and cornbread-chorizo stuffing.
For dessert, expect sweet perfection in the form of pumpkin crème brûlée with spiced pumpkin and cardamom ice cream that nods to the restaurant’s Latin roots.
Each guest will also enjoy a complimentary mimosa or bellini, setting a festive tone for a meal that feels both indulgent and effortless.
“At Aqimero, our goal is to create a refined yet welcoming holiday experience where guests can gather, connect, and savor the day without the stress of cooking or cleanup,” said John Christinzio, Aqimero’s Director of Operations.
“Thanksgiving should feel effortless and celebratory, and our brunch allows families and friends to simply enjoy each other’s company over a thoughtfully prepared meal.”
The brunch is priced at $95 per guest, with limited seating available.
A Holiday to Remember in the Heart of Center City
Whether you’re raising a teacup filled with cocktails the night before or savoring turkey and flan under the Ritz-Carlton’s grand dome Thanksgiving afternoon, Aqimero offers two distinctive ways to celebrate gratitude, good food, and great company this Thanksgiving.
Don’t wait until the week of Thanksgiving to find out everything’s booked. Aqimero’s Thanksgiving Eve Boozy Tea and Thanksgiving Day Brunch always hit capacity, and this year’s menus are already drawing heavy interest.
If these gatherings sound like your kind of celebration, lock in your table now — before the prime times disappear. Make your reservation today on OpenTable or at www.aqimero.com.
