About the party

Joonbug Presents a New Year's Eve bar crawl through Downtown Manhattan, from 9 PM on December 31 to 2 AM. Registration is at The Skinny Bar and Lounge on Orchard Street. Named stops so far are Bobby's Night Out on Loisaida Avenue and Coyote Ugly on East 14th Street, with more venues to be announced.

What to expect

A moving New Year's Eve: each bar has its own crowd and drink specials, and the organizer mentions live DJs along the way. VIP perks are offered. My take: a fit for a group that would rather wander the Lower East Side and East Village than settle into one venue for the countdown.

Music and lineup

The organizer mentions live DJ performances but does not say at which stops, who plays or what genres.
