Cranberry Bog Martini at Paramour and Saint James' Franks in a Blanket

Though the latter may sound like an afterthought, think twice. Paramour and the Saint James deliver on flavor and familiarity in a big way.

The Sip: At Paramour, the New Year’s celebration continues with the Cranberry Bog, a chic, bubbly cocktail made of Cava, cranberry juice and Cointreau, finished with fresh cranberries and a sugary rim. We’ll take two, please. $11. 139 E. Lancaster Ave., Wayne; (610) 977-0600, paramourwayne.com

The Bite: What’s a New Year’s party without Franks in a Blanket? The Saint James wraps its high-quality dogs in buttery pastry puffs, before lining them up on a generous smear of yellow mustard, summoning you to pop until you honestly can’t stop. $10. 30 Parking Plaza, Suburban Square, Ardmore; (610) 649-6200, saintjamesphilly.com
