The Dish: PHD Terrace's S'mores Skillet

As the holidays approach, it's time to indulge in all our favorite holiday sweets. But this season, it's also time to get our hygge on. The Danish wellness concept that's all about fighting the winter blues is everywhere this year.

It's even the holiday theme for PHD Rooftop Terrace at Dream Midtown. The hip Manhattan venue is currently clad in birch tree branches, holly berry wreathes, and winter garland, all illuminated under warm candlelight. The menu also features some tasty holiday treats, including a S'more Skillet.

"For The Hygge at PHD Terrace at Dream Midtown, we wanted to recreate a reminiscent feeling of sitting around the campfire and toasting marshmallows on a summer’s night," says Corporate Executive Chef Matt Hughes. "By transforming the classic treat into an over-the-top skillet, we are recreating the S'mores into a year-round (indoor) goodie. The communal aspect of the dish is where Fondue meets S'mores, allowing friends to gather around the skillet socializing, similar to what would take place around the campfire.”
