Great Places in NoMad to Celebrate 2019
There’s nothing quite like New Year’s Eve in New York City. While the nation’s eyes will be trained on the famous ball drop in Times Square (and the million or so people who will turn out to watch it), there are literally thousands of places across the city to ring in the New Year with family, friends, food, and a glass (or two) of champagne. NoMad has no shortage of establishments opening their doors (and rooftops) to revelers this year. If you haven’t yet made plans for ringing in 2019, here’s a quick roundup of parties in NoMad to check out.
Like all their locations, the Smith NoMad is always a boisterous, fun-filled place and should prove to be lively on New Year’s Eve. The restaurant will be offering a limited a la carte menu until 8 p.m. on December 31st. Afterwards, there will be an open bar and special three-course menu from 10 p.m. – 1 a.m., including a midnight champagne toast. The party will continue until closing. The cost is $140 per person. For reservations, visit the restaurant’s website.
