New Year’s Eve night is all about creating an experience for yourself that’s unmatched. It’s about spending time with your closest friends, and looking back on all that’s happened in the last 364 days. But when you’re thinking about New Year’s Eve in New York City, things are only amplified as it’s the biggest nightlife market in the world, and one of the main attractions for the biggest party of the year. Rather than sticking to traditional house parties, or a crowded bar around the block, one of the most anticipated events of the year in NYC is taking place at Butter Restaurant, a unique NYC attraction that encompasses three dining spaces that each offer a unique atmosphere – what better way to spend your New Year’s Eve night than with a little variety in your setting.
Known to serve up some phenomenal dishes, expect your NYE celebration to tantalize your tastebuds, but energize your emotions as top-notch entertainment awaits. Featuring an open bar, sensational hors d’oeuvres, and a special champagne toast at midnight, be prepared to experience a New Year’s Eve celebration like you’ve never heard, seen, or felt before in your life.
Ticket Options Include:
General Admission, Ultra VIP Admission, Platinum VIP Admission, and the Owner's Table
With its lofted space packed with youthful scenesters and a pumping soundtrack, Butter has the trappings of a nightclub, but the spot also boasts an expert New American kitchen under the direction of Chef Alexandra Guarnaschelli, a Greenmarket devotee. An extensive wine list and specialty cocktails like puréed-blackberry margaritas further distract from the food, although there’s much to enjoy on the homey and hearty menu; dandelion greens provide a bitter counterpoint to smooth, and sweetened chicken liver crostini; Colorado rack of lamb comes with fresh chili-basil pesto, or a decadent mound of goat cheese and honey, depending on the season. The dining area is windowless with tables for two clustered in the center, and crescent-shaped booths along the sides. In lieu of a view there’s an illuminated photo of a birch forest in back, an arboreal motif that repeats in the exclusive Birch Room lounge downstairs. — Ethan Wolff
