About the party

Above NYC Rooftop hosts a New Year's Eve party at 269 West 36th Street in Midtown, between 7th and 8th Avenues, on Thursday, December 31, from 9 PM to 2 AM. The pitch is 360-degree skyline views, an open bar and a live DJ for the countdown.

What to expect

A cocktail-style mingling party with indoor and outdoor rooftop space, dancing to a live DJ, an open bar from 9 PM to 1 AM, appetizers from 9 to 11 PM and a midnight toast. A full dinner is not served, and seating is limited and first come, first served. There is no direct view of the ball drop. Dress to impress. My take: this is for groups who want views and a DJ in Midtown without a sit-down dinner.

Music and lineup

A live DJ throughout the night, per the listing and the organizer's FAQ. No DJ is named, no genre is stated, and the organizer notes talent can change.
