Night to remember, perhaps

EVE

Think of the word that comes before "ning" in a famous holiday or special occasion.

"Night to remember, perhaps" hints at a special or memorable evening, and "EVE" fits as a short, punchy term for the night before an event (like New Year’s Eve). The wordplay leans on "EVE" being both a literal evening and a play on "a night you’d recall," since important occasions often happen on eves. It’s a classic crossword trick—using a common word with a double meaning.
