Our 10 New Year's Eve Party Picks In NYC

It doesn't matter if you're visiting for New Years' Eve, or you got stuck here after waiting too long to book a flight to Tulum (or, actually, anywhere with open water and sunshine), there's one thing we know you've never said: Times Square sounds like a great idea. Our guide to New Years' Eve in New York City, below. 

The creative Williamsburg hub that housed performances from countless up-and-coming artists including Disclosure, Alt-J and How to Dress Well announced back in October that it was closing its doors after eight years. Glasslands gave us so many good times (mostly, jams to dance to), of course they wouldn't say goodbye any differently. We're talking vodka open bar, a midnight champagne toast, a secret headliner and many other special guest performers.

For an option that's a little more swanky, join our April covergirl Rita Ora at the Top of the Standard. It's a night for black tie, a great view, and excellent people watching. 

Blast into the future with Club Shade, as Ladyfag and Seva Granik invite you to party like it's 2085. The insane warehouse party that's previously brought in Alexander Wang, Miley Cyrus and Riccardo Tisci, will have a "shade stage," non-stop dancing, and fashion vampires that won't see daylight until 7am. 

Since 2009, Tiki Disco has been known to throw some of the best outdoor dance parties in New York City. As the temperature lowers, the energy is still there. For NYE, Tiki Disco is taking over Sugar Hill Supper Club in Bed-Stuy with dance jams from DJ Eli Escobar, Andy Pry and Lloydski. Get ready to move! 

Catch rapper Mykki Blanco, noise rock rabblerousers Perfect Pussy, Ricky Eat Acid, and a special guest and sip away with two hours of open bar.

Hungry? Of course. Plan a little dinner with close friends before the night of festivities (or make dinner the plan because food is very important) at Dirty French. The Torrisi boys are cooking up cabbage with black truffle oil, blackened lobster and a champagne sorbet. We know one thing you'll be in 2015 -- full. 

Bored won't be a word used at the BangOn! NYC party, but FOMO might be very likely. The top secret warehouse location will include everything from DJ sets by Sweater Beats and Lee Poss to circus performances, holographs and flying saucers. It'll be hard to capture everything that's happening, but there won't be a dull moment. 

Enter 2015 (or 2K15) with a bit of '90s nostalgia. There will be VHS confessionals to express your feelings for those who didn't quite make the cut for the cast of The Real World and kissing booths for couples and NYE flings alike. 

Promoters Brandon Voss and Patrick Duffy are ringing in 2015 at "Queen of the Night," where, in addition to fancy packages that include champagne toasts and even a private butler service, you can find a dance party with DJ Spun and, later, an evening performance with Nomi Ruiz of Hercules and Love Affair.
