About the party

Joonbug presents New Year's Eve at Darling Rooftop, the 47th-floor lounge on top of the Park Lane Hotel on Central Park South, on Thursday, December 31, from 9 PM to 2 AM.

What to expect

An elegant rooftop New Year's Eve overlooking Central Park. The ticket includes a four-hour premium open bar and two hours of passed hors d'oeuvres, with a champagne toast at midnight. VIP packages add private seating and bottle service. My take: for an all-inclusive, high-floor New Year's Eve in Midtown.
