This Is the End

Your New Year’s Eve Party Plans Are Here

You and 2014: just about done. But to show your appreciation and to part on good terms, it’s only right that you end the year on a high note. Buckets of champagne and a masquerade seem pretty high.

LARK ON THE PARK

Old Hollywood and Cured Meats

You require: A little calm before the storm. Also, a little charcuterie before the storm.
You’ll receive: A ’50s Hollywood theme and some dinner to fortify yourself with meat/cheese boards and ribeyes before heading out for your regularly scheduled and probably less-meat-focused festivities.

THE DRAM

2015 Tastes Like Pappy Van Winkle

You require: A comfortable couch, a little table, maybe someone dancing on that table...
You’ll receive: General admission for $20, but buy a package for a private space stocked with things like champagne, party favors and a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle. You can even invite some friends.

CANDLEROOM

Drinking Champagne and Wearing Masks

You require: A mask to hide your face... just in case things take a weird turn.
You’ll receive: This masquerade ball at Candleroom, complete with a DJ, champagne and a midnight balloon drop. Don’t worry, they’re water-free.

FASHION INDUSTRY GALLERY

A Party Full of Well-Dressed People

You require: A wide-open space for dancing in your tux.
You’ll receive: The most fashionable of fashion-related New Year’s Eve parties. You can expect music, hors d’oeuvres, a full bar and lots of attractive people. You’ll fit right in.

HOTEL ZAZA

Bubbly and Snacks by ZaZa’s Pool

You require: Something with a room just an elevator away.
You’ll receive: ZaZa’s full attention and access to their Grand Gallery, ballroom and poolside tent, plus two DJs, a champagne toast and passed snacks. Also that room, should such a thing come in handy.
