IN-THE-SPOTLIGHT
You know, living in New York is one thing. But experiencing New Year's Eve in New York is another thing. You have the iconic ball drop in Times Square, along with parties going on in the most exclusive nightclubs and lounges and then you have...Webster Hall. Dubbed as "America's first nightclub," the multi-level venue has been home to parties for the past 127 years.
The superstructure is known for it's epic concerts featuring world renowned DJs, local talent and top artists. The New Year's Eve Ball 2013 will have a jam packed line up uncluding Tommy Trash behind the decks for after hours as celebrants party it up in 2013. In typical fashion on midnight it's only right to have a champagne toast, however, Webster has a little tradition of its own. Once the clock strikes midnight, a massive balloon drop infultrates the entire main room of Webster Hall! It's easily known as "the largest balloon drop in the free world." Over 100,000 balloons fall upon those in attendance and it's seriously one crazy scene! New York nightlife is just filled with surprises you may never even know about but now you know about this one so it's a must to experience it at least once!

The mood is vibrant yet a settle somber fills the air. Every Sunday night at 30 West 4th Street, singers in the greater NYC area gather to share the universal language of music.

However, this isn't your ordinary night at The Village Underground. With the recent tragedies of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, many are mourning while others find creative ways of seeking peace.
It may be the middle of winter, but why not welcome Minus5 Ice Bar to the city that never sleeps? The third location of the bar will open up in March 2013 inside Hilton New York in Midtown West.

The highly sought after, multi-award winning DJ/producer will christen his residency Friday, November 30, when he takes over the DJ booth to show the crowd why he is praised as a turntable prodigy.
His feature performance is sure to stun revelers giving them both a festival feel and big room-scale production as A-trak is known for his hard hitting bass dropping and hip hop infused sets. You can expect to hear a versatile mix of genres perfectly intermixed together that you won't be able to remove yourself from the dancefloor.
The Montreal native was the first DJ to win five international DJing championships and has other countless awards under his belt. A-Trak has collaborated with big names such as Kanye West and Kid Cudi. He's also responsible for the 2011 worldwide GRAMMY Award -nominated hit "Barbra Streisand," after joining forces with Armand Van Helden to form electro-duo Duck Sauce. The track went on to achieve massive global success, helming the top chart positions in twelve countries and snatching the coveted #1 spot on the US Dance Billboard charts. |
