New Years Eve in New York City is an institution. The parties and events in NYC on NYE are some of the biggest and most notable in the world. You don't want to go watch Ryan Seacrest count down some lit up apple on the big night though so get on the plan making asap before you get left out in the cold. Below is a list of the parties going on this year that deserve your attention (in our opinion anyways...)
If you have an event you would like to add, send an email to content@metrowize.com. Be sure to check back often because we will update this page weekly as more events are announced.
