About the party

Joonbug presents New Year's Eve at Ainsworth Midtown on East 33rd Street, from 9 PM to 2 AM. It is an open-bar NYE package in an upscale lounge with screens for the Times Square Ball Drop.

What to expect

A 5-hour premium open bar with beer, wine, champagne, spirits and cocktails, light food early in the evening, a DJ-led countdown and a champagne toast at midnight. The promoter describes crystal chandeliers, wood accents, leather banquettes and multiple screens showing the ball drop. VIP packages add reserved seating and bottle service. My take: for groups who want an all-included Midtown NYE without standing in Times Square.

Music and lineup

A live DJ playing Top 40, hip-hop and house, per the promoter. No DJ name is published.
