All Dressed Up...Now Where To Go?

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve and 2009 is just around the corner. I, for one, am looking forward to the new year and I'm hoping that it's going to be better to me that 2008 was. New Year's Eve means party time in NYC, and I'm putting a spotlight on some of the places that are going to be doing it just right. Check them out. Click the photos to link to sites.

Banc Cafe
431 3rd Ave

I'm a little biased when it comes to Banc, because that's where my husband and I met, by chance about four and a half years ago. Banc is having a champagne toast and party favors on New Year's Eve. DJ Jam is playing. The best thing...no cover charge!

Dressing for the Party

New Year's Eve is only a couple of days away and you know what that means. Watching the ball drop at midnight and attending some fabulous parties. Good times are to be had by all, but what to wear? What to wear? Here's a few looks I've put together.
