After the hustle and bustle of Christmas, I tend to prefer a quiet time for New Year’s Eve. However, if you want to be out and about and in the thick of it, here are some suggestions to start your year with a bang!
WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES MIDNIGHT:
Join your sweetheart and raise your glasses, because when the clock strikes midnight Ivy Bar & Grill will be holding a champagne toast to ring in the New Year. Starting at 10:00PM guests can indulge their palettes on passed hors d’oeuvres and a four hour premium open bar. To set the scene, a DJ will be spinning tracks in the background until 4:00AM. With the gorgeous sprawling bar, burning candles and decorative lanterns, Ivy’s interior is a cozy haven that will ensure your night is nothing short of exceptional.
Location: 944 8th Avenue (at 56th Street).
Tickets: $115 purchased in advance, $125 purchased at the door.
