Joonbug presents New Year's Eve at 5th and Mad in NoMad, a bi-level venue near the Empire State Building, with an open bar, a live DJ and a midnight countdown.

What to expect

A 4-hour premium open bar (beer, wine, champagne, spirits and cocktails), light fare early in the evening, a DJ-led countdown and a champagne toast. VIP packages with reserved seating and bottle service are offered. My take: an easy all-inclusive night for groups in Midtown.
