Make sure you watch the ball drop at midnight tonight, or if you’re up for it, head to Times Square and watch it in person! If you do go, you’ll witness some action like a 10pm confetti drop! Papa John’s will be dropping 6 inch coupons for its cinnapie, and the CEOÂ and founder himself, John Schnatter will be delivering pizza into the crowd. Have fun and Happy New Year! Bryant Park Ice Skating This Winter
Ice skating at Bryant Park is still free to enter and is one of the best places to skate in the city. Before or after you’re done skating, head up to Celsius, a glass enclosed lounge where you can get fun cocktails and tasty food to warm you up. Celsius allows you to get a great view of the rink and the park all while staying warm by the heat lamps, that is if you chose to go out on the terrace. Enjoy winter, grab your skates and head to Bryant Park! 300 Bowling For New Years Eve In NYC
Still don’t have New Years Eve plans? Why not go bowling? Head to 300 in Chelsea Piers and you can bowl from 9pm to 1am and bring in the New Year! It’ll cost you $70 and you get unlimited bowling and shoes, a live DJ, a buffet, unlimited soft drinks, and a champagne toast. If you have kids and want to go a little earlier, go at 4pm to 7pm for a package deal starting at $35 per person. Everyone will have a great time because bowling’s a family favorite. It’ll get you up, drinking and eating to the New Year. 300 has a grill menu with all your favorite appetizers and pizza, burgers, salads and more. If you’re busy on New Years Eve, go for New Years Day or any other night you have the time! You’ll love their shiny, chic interior and multi-colored lights. Fun Fact: Bowling is the most popular indoor participatory sport in the US with about 64 million bowlers. Altar Boyz Only Till January 10th
Altar Boyz only has a few more shows left, so go get your tickets now (some are low as $26.50!) and have a great night out off-Broadway. The show has been running for five years and you don’t want to miss out on this show that’ll have you up and out of your seating dancing. This heaven-loving group has five guys (including one Jewish guy), Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan, and Abraham who each take on those classic boy band personalities that we loved so much growing up. Altar Boyz is everything you’d want in a show, with songs like “Girl You Make Me Wanna Wait,” that will be stuck in your head for the week. If you used to love the Backstreet Boys, ‘NSYNC, and 98 Degrees, you’ll fall in love with Altar Boyz. When you’re there, it feels like you’re at a concert, not an off-Broadway show. It’s playing at New World Stages, which is one of my favorite, modern, intimate theaters. Get your tickets now for Altar Boyz! Purple Yam On Cortelyou Road
Purple Yam is a Filipino, pan-Asian restaurant located in Brooklyn and has dishes that you don’t see everywhere. The restaurant is brand new and is by the owners of Cendrillon, which used to be in SoHo, but closed this past March. When you walk into Purple Yam, the smell of the food takes over and you want to order everything. The food is family style, so order for the table and share. Try the Korean meatballs, which comes with kimchi and is great as a first taste of Purple Yam. The bibimbap is a dish that you have to try, it comes in a clay pot with crispy rice at the bottom and vegetables on top like shitake mushrooms, spinach, squash and gingko nuts. Another favorite is the Chicken Adobo that comes in a mixture of garlic, vinegar, and soy sauce. Experiment and try everything on the menu! |
