It’s only early December. If you’re a normal person – aka not me – you haven’t started stressing about making plans for New Year’s Eve.

But if you’re a weirdo like me, you want to lock it in. You don’t want to be left out, without something fun to do. Or maybe you just want to resist temptation to do nothing but watch New Year’s Rockin’ Eve from the comfort of your couch.

This is how I spent last New Year’s Eve with friends. Pretty swank, eh?

We had a dedicated server who made sure we always had cocktails and food from the various stations AND a butler–who was so young and handsome; I probably complimented him a bit too much, poor guy.

I’ll post again about the details closer to the event. For now, here’s a peek.

If you’re in the vicinity of New York City (or want to be for New Year’s), here is the solution to your giant New Year’s Eve question mark: join me at Bowery Hotel at the elegant festivities thrown by Bowery Collective.

Even better, here’s a code to get 20% off your tickets or table: JenNYE2016. Get your tickets or table here.

PS Aren’t you glad I posted something light for once?
