About Me

New York, New York, United States
Meet…me. I live on the Bowery in Manhattan, dedicating most of my sanity to my studies at NYU. I am in my third year, majoring in journalism and creative writing. I intern at a fashion magazine, and admit to trying on all the shoes when my supervisor goes to the bathroom. Being a night crawler, I enjoy hanging out with friends in the Meatpacking District—sharing stories with strangers and celebrating the week’s achievements. That is why I bring you, dear reader, the happenings of this electric hotspot, in hopes to share my enthusiasm for the true part of New York that never sleeps. People come here to lose themselves in the loud music and bottles of champagne, in clubs portrayed in movies and TV shows. It is the playground of New York with enough scandal and excitement to attract people from all corners of the world. I invite you to pick your way over the cobblestones of Gansevoort Plaza amidst the bright night lights, dressed as if a New York heiress. Or perhaps sip espresso in the early afternoon at an outdoor café, watching glamorously attired shoppers return your curiosity. Whatever you choose to do, enjoy, and I’ll see you there!

The ball drops on MePa

Though some venues haven’t even begun selling tickets yet, the Meatpacking District’s hottest party this New Year's Eve looks to be STK. VIP tickets ranging from $235 to $205 are already sold out. General admission tickets are still available at $125, which includes a standing space, five-hour premium open bar, butler-passed hors d'oeuvres, midnight champagne toast, and party favors. VIP ticket holders receive all the benefits of a general admission ticket, with the added prestige of being seated at a table with bottle service and a cute waitress.

ONE looks to be another hot spot, with all their platinum VIP tickets ($225) already sold out. Benefits of this ticket are comparable to STK’s, as is their general admission tickets ($115 per stub) which are still up for grabs.

Level V will open their door for $95, and provide a five-hour premium open bar, hors d’oeuvres, and a midnight champagne toast. Purchase the princess treatment for $215, which will get you a table, three bottles of vodka and two of champagne (no word on what brand champagne).

Another party listed at this time is the Hotel Gansevoort’s rooftop bash, which last year was the destination for Paris Hilton. General admission tickets are $175 and include a six-hour open bar, catered delicacies by downstairs restaurant Ono, and multiple spaces with their own DJs. VIP tables for four say “F*ck the recession!” and start at $1500. This type of money will get you a seat, and one bottle of vodka and champagne.

Welcome to New York.
