About the party

IGC Hospitality hosts New Year's Eve at Refinery Rooftop, 63 West 38th Street in Midtown, on Thursday, December 31, starting at 9 PM. The package pairs a DJ and special surprise guests with an open bar and a midnight toast under views of the Empire State Building.

What to expect

A Midtown rooftop countdown with a four-hour open bar, passed hors d'oeuvres, a live DJ and a midnight toast with sparkling wine. The organizer suggests dressing to impress, as an encouragement rather than a stated requirement. My take: this suits a group that wants an open-bar rooftop with a DJ and a direct look at the Empire State Building at midnight.

A live DJ and music throughout the evening, per the listing. No DJ is named, no genre is stated, and the special surprise guests are not announced. Set times are not published.
