Let’s face it–it’s a pain deciding on what the best New Year’s Eve Party is for you.  There are hundreds of choices that have a vast array of pricing and packages.  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. So let’s get down to it!

What to Expect:

• Stout is a cozy pub that is decorated to the nines for the holidays. It’s not a fancy/trendy lounge, it’s a friendly bar with a warm atmosphere–not a dive bar.
• We have the entire 2nd floor lounge reserved for our group.  There is a bar/lounge section for mixing and mingling and for dancing.
• We will have hot and cold appetizers starting at 9pm 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.
• Music will be played by a live DJ at conversational levels until we start dancing. Classic party tunes, pop, rock, dance, hip hop, etc.
• Coverage of the Times Square festivities will be on over 2 dozen screens.
• 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 200 people comfortably but we will only sell 150 tickets.
• Party time 8pm-1am.

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:

This party is open to all ages 21+.  The bulk of the group will reflect the demographic of the group 30s-40s, HOWEVER if you are in your 20s or 50s there will be plenty of people your age as well.  Don’t make this an age thing, we are all coming together to celebrate the new year.

Dress Code: We want you to be comfortable.  If you want to dress up most of the crowd will be dressy (just no jeans and t-shirts please).

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.
