Where to go for New Years in New York?

November 23, 2006 2:08 AM

My girlfriend and I are visiting New York City on New Years Eve and want to have a memorable night. We preferably don't want to spend more than $200 each and would like something suitable for young professionals, not getting too drunk, not too loud (!) and comes with a seat!

More info: We're staying in the West Village. We've found things such as this, this and this but aren't sure if they're worth it. We're not fussed about celebrity spotting - just having a good time with other good people.

i moved out of nyc two years ago, but TRIBE on St. Marks +1st Ave used to have a great New years champagne thing.

great bar to check out in any case...or at least used to be....

It might be worth seeing if the Slipper Room has a New Year's Eve burlesque show:

I contacted these guys last year to get some recommendations for new years in new york and they were very helpful.

They also send out a weekly email in December with ideas and recommendations. Not sure if they'll do the same but worth checking out.
