Manhattan bars are offering early New Year's Eve countdowns as early as 7 p.m. for revelers who want to celebrate without staying out late. These 'matinee' parties attract parents with babysitters and those seeking a more relaxed celebration with dinner, champagne, and dancing before bedtime.
New York City barflies and dancefloor divas who wanted a New Year’s Eve night on the town – and to still be in bed before midnight – came out in droves to Manhattan bars hosting parties centered around “countdowns” as early as 7 p.m.
The disco-themed bar also hosts regular boogie nights from 5 to 10 p.m. on Saturdays under the banner ‘Matinee Social Club.’ Despite the early hour, Shorr contends the event – which draws crowds in their 40s to 60s on average – is in high demand.
“I thought it would be a silly thing that drew a few folks, but the flier has gotten a ton of engagement, and I can’t wait to see the turnout,” Smith said.
