Christmas has come and gone. But there is no doubt still that festive feeling in the air. Perhaps it has to do with the super cold weather, or the mega store sales. Maybe it’s the fact that wherever you go you seem to come face to face with yet another spectacular Christmas tree, adorned with tinsel and lights, brightening up the entire area. Because truly, even though the season comes but one time of the year, as B.B. King told us back in 1961, we can truly “let the good times roll.”
This year NYC seems to have outdone itself once more. Even for those who don’t like to party so much, there’s nothing quite like Prospect Park’s New Year’s Eve fireworks display. Another non-party event is the wonderfully-guided Brooklyn Bridge Walk into the New Year. What could be more awesome than seeing the new year in with that spectacular view? Tours start at 10:30pm and are given in a variety of languages.
But now on to the parties. NYC certainly has no shortage of bars and clubs and the managers there know how to throw a good party. Some ideas include: London’s Hot Chip + Simian Mobile Disco – a collaboration of “delicious disco beats with genuine heart and humor.” Head out to Brooklyn’s Secret Project Robot for the annual Glitterballnyc NYE and party together with Joakim, DJ Shaif Laffrey and Andi & Chase Smith. For ravers who find themselves in NYC see the new year in with Rinsed, MeanRed, ReSolute and DJ Sprinkles among others.
And, if you partied a little too hard, there’s always the NYC Recovery Plan to get you back on track!
