About the party

Party Guide presents New Year's Eve at Starchild Rooftop, 27 stories up at the Civilian Hotel at 305 West 48th Street near Times Square, on Thursday, December 31, from 9 PM to 2 AM. DJs play a dance floor on a Funktion-One sound system, with an open bar and a screening of the ball drop.

What to expect

A rooftop lounge with glass-enclosed, retractable space, which the organizer says will be fully enclosed and heated for the night. The package includes a premium open bar from 9 PM to 1 AM, 1.5 hours of passed hors d'oeuvres, a live screening of the ball drop and a midnight champagne toast. My take: this is for people who want a real dance floor and skyline views close to Times Square.
