New Year's Eve in New York City
As the new year approaches, New York City gets ready for its annual New Year's Eve in Times Square celebration. The famous ball drop atop One Times Square has been a tradition dating back to 1906. Each year, over one million people descend upon Times Square to party and experience this free and memorable event!
If you are planning to join the party, get there early and be prepared - you'll be corralled into barricaded areas where you'll have to stay for the duration. After the ball drop in Times Square, buy tickets and celebrate some more at one of the officially hot, popular New Year's Eve parties in NYC featured below!
While NYE in Times Square may be the most famous New York event and celebration, the Big Apple plays host to hundreds of the best New Year's Eve parties each year. With many of the NYC bars and New York City nightclubs throwing their own New Year's party, NYC tourists in town for NYE have a huge selection of NYC events to choose from.
Whether you ring in the new year at an A-List New Year's Eve Party in Times Square, a mega party at one of NYC’s hot bars or clubs, or at the massive multi-level party superstructure know as Webster Hall, NYE in NYC offers a party for virtually every budget and party-goer taste. Before you decide, below is an official list of the hottest, best New Years Eve parties in New York for 2018! Most parties sell out quickly so get your tickets sooner than later.
