When the ball drops in NYC, where will you be? Well for starters, the Kitten Lounge team will be at Gustavino's which is a fab facility with arched ceilings which are perfect to party in and with it being on 59th street, the drive in will be perfect! But there are a number of places that you should consider and so, here are 5 fab places that you may want to consider and of course you;ll want to get your group together and buy your tickets at Joonbug in order to make sure you can be together and ring in 2009 which is bound to be an amazing year!

1. Gustavino's - Our Food Editor loves high ceilings and interesting places, so it was a no brainer that the team should ring in the new year here as it is centrally located! I am psyched about the open bar, passed appetizers and more. I love dressing up and going to an area of town that I typically do not party in!

2. Duvet II - I have always loved partying here! I love the beds and how relaxed it is so I think that this is definitely a place to consider. Of course if you're going to be here, make sure that you reserve a bed as it adds to the luxury!

3. One - When it comes to one of my favorite places in the Meat Packing District, One is in my top 3! With that being said, this is definitely a place to go to for New Years Eve as I love the intimate vibe while also having enough space to flow from one room to the other! This is an essential when you're going to hang out at a place for awhile, a change of pace is always appreciated!

4. Amalia - The Dream Hotel is one of my favorite places. It has my favorite rooftop - Ava Lounge! I love that it has an amazing view of Times Square and yet you're a bit removed. I say that to say that the restaurant, Amalia is downstairs and is gorgeous! I love that it has a Louis the XVI vibe to it and everywhere you look, there is a feast for the eyes! In addition, selecting this party allows you to have a double combo with D'or.

5. Aspen - My final pick is for the group that wants to have a bit of nature while being inside! I have always been a fan of Aspen (always been so Freeman's like). I love that this is definitely a place to see and be seen! The Flatiron District is always a great place to hang out and is centrally located to wherever the night will take you afterwards.

So these are my top 5 faves and of course, you'll know where I will be! But there are plenty of parties to enjoy out there and you can search Joonbug as you plan one of the most important nights of the year! I will keep you up to date on what's going on over the next few days and will let you know of various parties in NYC and our sister city Toronto will be in the next post (I have to say that with it being a fashion capital, I had to show some love to them as well! If I wasn't here, I would be in Toronto ringing in the new year!).
