Last week, Gawker broke down for us the Five Types of New Year’s Eve Parties, consolidating the holiday’s many tropes into a eerily accurate list.There are many of us who, come January 31st, would much rather be at home in some nice, cozy pajamas (see Type # 4: Oh, We Went To Bed At 11) than step foot in a nightclub, which on this particular holiday can become synonymous with “vortex of striped shirted dude bros and girls who can’t stand in their shoes, where you can’t even get any champagne due to the interminable bar line.” That viewpoint aside, it seems that there really are partygoers who genuinely enjoy what Gawker has hailed as Type # 3: At The Clurrrrb. On January 1st, 2009, Upstairs was one such clurrrrb. Bless them all, keeping our sad economy alive.

Interest in a location can often point towards a travel trend.  And by interest, we mean Google searches.  Granted, in the past year some travel interest has waned because of the recession, nevertheless, the past 5 years offer some interesting insight.  Take for example Punta Del Este, which has emerged as a go-to travel destination during New Year’s for those looking to expand their horizons and avoid other the typical spots.  Once the “hamptons” for South Americans, it has ushered in many more foreign tourists including us “close-minded” Americans.  And rightly so, it has miles and miles of beautiful beaches, nightlife, and a sun that doesn’t set until at least 9pm at night.

After all, if you are going to travel thousands of miles, say from NYC to Miami, what’s the point if NYC follows you there?  Last January Miss Model Behavior made a trip to Punta and blogged her experience.  It’s a great read, and gives readers a nice insight into this gem.  That being said, what does the interest in some other spots during NYE look like?  We  decided to look at a couple of usual suspects, namely Gstaad, St. Barth’s, and South Beach to see what’s going on… More»
