We’re finally rounding off 2020, and after a long year, we could all use something to celebrate. New York City is the place to ring in the New Year, but this year due to the pandemic, things are going to look a little different. While New Year’s Eve at Times Square won’t be open to the public, there are still some great COVID-19 safe events happening in the city that you don’t want to miss. Here are the ones we suggest.

Eqiunox Hotel’s NYE Champagne Celebration Package

Book a night with your closest friends or significant other at Equinox Hotel with the NYE package. The package includes a bottle of Laurent-Perrier La Cuvee Brut Champagne, festive balloon décor, and an NYE party favor pack.

NYE Comedy Mega Show 2021

We can’t think of a better way to end 2020 than by laughing with big names comics including Fred Armisen, Reggie Watts, Natasha Leggero, Moshe Kasher, Brent Weinbach, and Andrew Michaan.

New Year’s Eve at Haven Rooftop 2021

This heated rooftop bar has a menu of food at 4, 6, and 8 p.m. which includes a three-course seated dinner for $125 per person, one bottle of prosecco for two, and a two hour seating limit.

The Rockaway Hotel Winter Pool House

The Rockaway just opened and they’re hosting a socially distanced New Year’s Eve with a tropical theme. Guests will sit in the dining area on the hotel’s pool deck which is decorated with pampas grass, teak furniture, Sherpa pillows, and beach-theme décor. There’s even a three-course dinner that has dishes like spicy tuna poke, chestnut agnolotti, and pumpkin and parmesan soup.
