About the party

Joonbug Presents a New Year's Eve party at Sony Hall, 235 West 46th Street off Times Square, from 9 PM on December 31 to 4 AM on January 1. The package centers on a five-hour premium open bar with champagne and beer, a DJ, and a midnight countdown.

What to expect

An open-bar New Year's Eve format: a DJ-led countdown, lite fare early in the evening, and lighting and special effects in a room that opened in 1938 as the Diamond Horseshoe. Deluxe VIP tickets add reserved seating and table bottle service. My take: for groups who want an all-in-one ticket in Midtown and a familiar, crowd-pleasing soundtrack.

Music and lineup

A DJ playing club favorites, Top 40, hip hop and mashups, per the listing. The DJ is not named.
