THE COLLECTIVE
New Year's Eve in New York City. It's 2011. Where do you go? What do you wear? Who are the celebs that are going to be rubbing elbows with you at the open bar? Every day until New Year's Eve, we are going to give you the best of the best on where to be and how to have a night to remember to kick off the New Year. Today we continue with the letter ‘E.’
E is for Eats
We all know that New Year’s Eve is going to be a night of heavy drinking. But you can also expect some delicious food from some of the best restaurants around New York City during the holiday season. Check out these popular restaurants that will be throwing New Year’s bashes.
Thanksgiving is literally hours away. A marathon long weekend of family, food and giving thanks is what’s in store for us. But before you start thinking of turkeys, stuffing and stuffing yourself, treat yourself to a night out with friends. Here are some of the best Thanksgiving Eve parties in New York.
The always-stylish Hudson Hotel gives you the option of three different and unique party areas. Hudson Bar is an opulent space with a glass floor lit from beneath and a hand painted ceiling. It’s the perfect spot for people-watching. For a more laid-back atmosphere, consider Hudson Hall where you can grab a drink and take a seat at one of the communal tables. And to warm up, head for the Library where you can have your drink next to the fireplace.
The Meatpacking District is home to some of New York City's hottest nightclubs and venues. As it starts getting colder at night and the sun begins to set over the Hudson earlier and earlier, we thought you might want to stay on the same block and run from spot to spot while hitting some of the most notable nightclubs in the world. Check it out.

When hungry diners first walk into The Collective, a Meatpacking District newbie set to open on St. Patrick's Day, their growling stomachs might momentarily get side-tracked while their curious eyes adjust to the bizarre choice of interior decorating. Think: your great Aunt Toots' (the one that is one over-flowing junk-drawer away from being on Hoarders) apartment crossed with an Andy Warhol eye for sophisticated irony, and topped with garage sale treasures. Still not with me? An example of a seating option in this new eatery may include a flea market bought sofa reupholstered in...a few pairs of jeans. Peculiar, unusual, grotesque, yet seductively eccentric, and dare we say...shabby-chic.
