Where is the "hot spot" for New Years Eve this year? (Russia: how much, buffet)

[rocafeller05]

What are top spots this for dancing and drinks on NYE? Any places you want to recommend?

There's this hot new place called, "Home."

Warm place, cold beer, maybe some wine and champagne, snacks, some family, significant other, a few friends, and your all set.

Don't mean to be sarcastic, but that's the vibe this year. A lot of people don't want to go out this year.

Alot of people don't want to go out this year? says who! Places will be crowded, but they won't be charging $1,000 for a champagne toast and buffet dinner..that's the only difference. 42nd will ALWAYS be crowded, as are most decent places in the city..it will just be more affordable.

Dont know about that. Almost every place I looked into it was $150 to get in the door. Of course it comes with a "open bar" which will have 3 bartenders and 15 people deep! Which equals 4 drinks. lol.
So were looking for an open bar place that wont be mobbed. Any suggestions would be great!

Hmm...I don't think that is possible...it is illogical to have a place that is open bar and isn't mobbed...doesn't happen.

We did the Russian Tea Room a couple years back. Open bar, not overly packed. But the vibe really sucked. So I guess you cant get all 3 at the same time.

I'm going to Love, it has a crazy dance party going on this weekend, plus it has climbable cubby hole padded wall room thing (youd have to see it) its only 25 to get in. no open bar though, but they only let 400 people in. heres the promo site: Gemini & Scorpio: Events

And how much was the russian Tea room?

[rocafeller05]

I think it was $100. But it was BORING!! Like..want to leave but I paid $100, boring!
Never again.
