New Year's Eve Guide

There’s no doubt that New York City is one of the top cities to party for New Year’s Eve, but where can patrons find a perfect party when there’s an event happening on every corner? In Manhattan alone, there are at least hundreds of New Year’s Eve parties taking place and some of them are launching for the first time. Fortunately, there’s one well renowned venue that’s not only hosting a New Year’s Eve 2010 extravaganza, but inhabits all the rich, decadent features and star appeal to make it the elite party destination for “everyone’s who’s anyone” in New York. Celebrities, such as Eva Mendes, Hugh Jackman, Beyonce, Jay Z, Howard Stern, and Sarah Jessica Parker have all been to this national landmark at least once. Resurrecting the Italian renaissance through its breathtaking décor and ambiance, Manhattan’s Capitale is the grand, throwback nightclub for models, Hollywood hit makers, and all trendsetting New Yorkers to celebrate New Year’s Eve 2010 in style.

Capitale has the perfect backdrop to bid adieu to 2009 and welcome 2010 in elegant five-star fashion. Constructed in 1893, Capitale was originally a massive bank, but later transformed into New York City’s top nightclub-meets-restaurants where one can party with supermodels and starlets. Today, Capitale features two tantalizing Venetian ballrooms, Corinthian columns, and marble floors. While Capitale doesn’t have a weekly lineup of parties, it does offer plenty of elite special events, especially for New Year’s Eve 2010. For this year, wear your best cocktail attire and spoil yourself at the five-hour premium open bar, later dancing to the fabulous dance tracks by a sexy, surprise DJ. Capitale’s service is impeccable and it’s light, tasty dishes are award-winning, creating the elegant atmosphere needed for New Year’s. Experience the best of modern luxury at New York City’s Capitale for New Year’s 2010!
