End Game

You Need New Year’s Plans. These Are They.

It only took you one year to use up all that 2014 they gave you. And that’s okay. Because you’re about to get a 2015. Might as well mark the occasion with caviar sandwiches and dancers covered in LED lights. Or any of these other fine New Year’s Eve situations.

BONDIR CONCORD

Caviar and Truffle Beer Is a Start

You Require: Something to eat before going out. Caviar should do.
You’ll Receive: A very special four-course dinner at Bondir Concord with things like 12-week Wagyu ribeyes and robber-baron-level delights like caviar butter sandwiches, sparkling wine punch and their house truffle porter. It’s porter with truffles in it.

BEAT HOTEL

The Burlesque-Fueled Disco Blowout

You Require: Disco beats, a buffet and someone to take their clothes off.
You’ll Receive: The Beat Hotel in full ’70s disco mode, complete with go-go dancers, a buffet with mini beef Wellingtons and such, and a performance from a Burlesque Hall of Famer. It’s a good hall.

SPACE 57

Four Bars. 700 People. Much Champagne.

You Require: Lots of people. Lots of space. Lots of bars.
You’ll Receive: All 10,000 square feet of Revere Hotel’s Space 57 in full-on New Year’s mode. Expect four bars, a dance floor laser show, 700-plus revelers and a midnight toast. You don’t have to clink glasses with everybody.

BASTILLE KITCHEN

Underground Chalet: Solid Option

You Require: A sophisticated someplace where you can sit back and put 2014 to sleep over a glass of cognac. The more tartan sofas, the merrier.
You’ll Receive: This soiree in Bastille Kitchen’s subterranean Chalet lounge, with the usual faux-antler chandeliers and not-usual DJ. So we lied about you sitting.

THE LIBERTY HOTEL

An Old Jail Full of Light-Up Dancers

You Require: A multilevel affair in a 19th-century prison. Also, carbs.
You’ll Receive: As much truffled goat cheese arancini and cavatelli Bolognese as you can muster, plus four stories’ worth of DJ’d madness and dancers covered with LED lights. That’s how you’ll know who they are. Plus the dancing.
