T.G.I Friday's

New Year’s Eve in NYC’s Times Square is legendary. And since every day is Friday at TGI Friday’s, they know how to throw an all out party in this Times Square treasure.  Launch the New Year off right at an American staple in the heart of New York City this December.

The hype over TGIF’s annual party is well deserved.  This 21 + party sees the space revolutionized with non-stop entertainment and a four hour premium open bar.  Fuel yourself for the big ball drop with two hours of passed hors d’oeuvres from TGIF’s world-famous menu and party favors passed out to the city’s most energetic crowd.  A live DJ spinning the year’s hottest tracks will keep your heart pumping, and the ever-energetic staff will be passing around complimentary champagne as the clock nears midnight.  As Times Square ignites in the annual countdown, you’ll be a part of it all within the warm comfort of a party powerhouse.  See the action on their massive flatscreens or immerse yourself in the chant of an electrifying crowd.

This classic American restaurant given the mega-sized Times Square treatment is bigger and better than any Friday’s you’ve ever seen.  That means easy access to hot quintessentially American style food and ambiance and chilled TGIF’s signature cocktails.  Watch TGI Friday’s transform as it decks itself out NYE-style and fills with the vibration of a live DJ performance.

This year in Times Square, follow the iconic red and white stripes to a vibrant New Year’s experience. Spend this NYE in New York’s best party restaurant, TGI Friday’s – where a casual dress code meets the ultimate New Year’s party.  

ENTRY POINTS: 50th Street & 6th Ave

BARRICADES:  The NYPD set up security checkpoints, called Barricades, throughout Times Square.  The NYPD will ask you to present your physical ticket, which are also your entry tickets to the event.  Locate your entry point based on the event you are attending below.  Your entry into Times Square cannot be guaranteed if you do not follow these designated ENTRY POINT instructions.  Your physical tickets must be on you at all times in order to gain entry into Times Square and your event.

TIME:  Moving through Times Square on New Year’s Eve can be a slow process.  Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to travel from your hotel or starting point to your party destination.  There are police checkpoints throughout Times Square and the wait times may vary.  The “doors open” time is located on your actual ticket.  We strongly recommend arriving at least 1-hour before the scheduled opening time.  NOTE:  Trying to enter Times Square after 9:00 PM is difficult and strongly discouraged.
