This year we are planning a special separate evening for our members 40+ to ring in the New Year surrounded by your peers! Realistically, do you want to be in a room surrounded by 20 year olds and listening to loud hip hop and rock all night??!! Let's face it's a pain deciding on what the best New Years Eve Party is for you. There are hundreds of choices that have a vast array of pricing and packages. We have been hosting New Years Eve parties at the World Bar for almost 10 years and we think this is the perfect place for this event. It is our mission to put together an evening that you won't forget and will be glad to have attended for a great price. Read on if interested.
What to Expect:
The World Bar is a nice lounge on the ground floor of The World Tower on the corner of 1st avenue and east 48th.
We have the entire room reserved for our group.
We will have hot and cold appetizers starting at 9:30pm while they last.
Our NYSN staff will be on hand to welcome you and introduce you to others in the group.
We will have ice breaker games with prizes so that you'll get to meet others at the party.
Generationally appropriate music will be played at conversational levels until we start dancing. Classic party tunes, pop, rock, dance, hip hop, etc. THERE IS NO FORMAL DANCE FLOOR. If you wish to dance the space to do that will emerge organically as the night goes on.
Coverage of the Time Square festivities will be on the monitor.
Champagne toast at midnight.
Not overcrowded. We will limit attendance to make it comfortable for everyone there. We don't want a hot sweaty/atmosphere. The room holds 125 people comfortably but we will only sell 100 tickets.
Mandatory coat check $3 per item
Why should I go to this party?
If you want to come to a casual and relaxed party with no attitudes this is it. Almost everyone attending will be coming on their own but all will have a connection through our group so you will feel like you are with family & friends.
The Atmosphere:
Casual, friendly and lively. Dress up or be more casual, just be comfortable. We'll have cocktail music playing when you arrive and step up the tempo as the evening gets closer to midnight. We'll have 2 fun ice breaker games with prizes so that you get to meet as many people as possible. We'll have the place decorated to get you in the mood plus hats, noisemakers and other party favors to help ring in the new year.
What it is not:
This is not a "pack 'em in", hot sweaty and loud drunkfest. There are plenty of other parties with open bar packages for that.
Age Range
At this event we expect that most will be in their 40's and beyond.
Is this a singles party?
This event is not exclusive for singles although most attending will likely be single. This is for NYSN members and friends who wish to ring in the new year in a fun and casual way together. If you are involved, there with friends or not interested in meeting someone, we'll have a system to let others know that you are not there for that. We will carefully monitor the registrations and try to balance the male/female ratio as best we can.
