The New York State Liquor Authority has extended the deadline for bars and clubs to apply for an 8am liquor license on New Year's Eve. Only 165 bars met the original deadline, a 60% drop from last year. Who is to blame: the SLA, the bars or the lame-os who frequent them? More»

New York City's downtown hotel, Thompson LES, might be home to new hot spot Shang, but it's also home to exclusive rooftop lounge, Above Allen, who hosted their very own New Year's Eve party. Good times, bubbly, and noise makers were had by all. Guests included Ashley Ciccarelli, Bonnie Awesu, Maria Vu, Max McGarr, and John Aksoy. We wonder how many partyers crashed in one of the hotel's surprisingly inexpensive suites afterward?

While there were tons of parties sprinkled across the city on New Year's Eve, some New Yorkers slipped into a different era while partying at Joshep Heller's New Year's Eve Party at 1940's themed hotspot Catch-22.  GofaG's Jamie Chiu got in on the action with fellow 2009-ers and welcomed the new year alongside historic WWII memorabilia, crystal chandeliers, and yes, a foosball table.
