It’s New Year’s Eve here in Anophtopia, and boy do we have some events for you to ring the New Year in!

Whether you’re celebrating with friends, family, work colleagues, or by yourself, there’s something for everyone here tonight in town!

How will you be celebrating? Check below for your options!

TOWN HALL SQUARE

A stage has been set out featuring local bands and acts performing throughout the night, with food and drink carts outlining the square. Mayor Deborah Gibson will be counting us down into the New Year, with up-and-coming indie band Remington Proluxe joining us into a sing-a-long of Auld Lang Syne!

Free admission to the event, just expect to pay for your food and drink at the stalls -- and bundle up in time for the fireworks, it’ll get cold!

RICKY’S ROCK ‘N’ ROLL BAR

An action-packed night of celebration is planned at Ricky’s, with karaoke set-up for everyone to have a chance to be a rockstar tonight, as well as a special drink’s list for the new year, one night only. A rumoured rock star is set to appear, but don’t hold your breath - they claim this every year!

Admission is $5 on the door. Please be aware: there may be long lines due to the small capacity Ricky’s has, and they will be stopping entry by 11:30pm, so get a plan B in action just in case!

HEAVENLY MOONLITE

The infamous Gentleman’s Club is closed to the public this New Year’s Eve, with a private party held in the function room. Club members can join in the main area, but unless your name is on the list, there’s no entry for you.

No admission. Proof of invite or club admission is needed, but not guaranteed to let you in.

THE JUPITER CLUB

The big-time nightclub is of course holding a big-time celebration to ring in the New Year. With dancers, fire-eaters, and acrobats to entertain those on the glittery dance floor, it’ll surely be a night to remember. 

Admission is $20 on the door, but online tickets are still available until 3pm at only $10. Bottle service available upon request, additional costs at their discretion. Admission is post-poned at 11:45pm so please get there early!

Vino Restaurante

La Comida

Pie Numbers

Gulp ‘n’ Go will be operating during its regular hours.

All non-essential stores will be closed on January 1st 2022, but will continue with their normal business hours from January 2nd 2022.

Ricky’s.

590 Broadway + 489 Broadway, NYC

Ricky’s - A New York beauty institution with a true cult following.

Ricky’s - "Cult following” is thrown around a lot these days but In the case of Ricky’s it’s a title that’s been earned and maintained. 

1. This brand laid it’s foundation (pun intended) back in 1989's Greenwich Village. Their core audience at the time was club kids, the punk scene, and drag queens (RuPaul was an early fan). A supporter of the LGBT community since way-back-when, it’s no surprise they became THE place to buy novelty wigs and fake eyelashes. And their motto, “Looking Good, Feeling Good” is empowering so duh.

2. As Ricky’s has evolved, so has the landscape. Sephora, Duane Reade, Walgreens—they all offer beauty products galore, and even beauty services in most locations. Ricky’s is different. Edgier...I mean, where else can you buy Manic Panic, Red Cherry lashes, Tangle Teezer, a GHD blowdryer, Archipelago candles, Butter London nail polish and one of THE largest selections of NYX cosmetics around? Oh, AND get a manicure and a blowout? (at key locations) The point is, when I come here...I shop-multi-task.

3. Order online, pick up at the store. Boom.

4. Instaglam Store. Ricky’s has some serious Instagram love. And so do MANY of their brands. So why not open a store dedicated to the biggest seller’s on Instagram? It’s called # (yep, hashtag) and it also serves as a brand incubator for new products! *photos below

5. Halloween. Since it’s inception, Ricky’s has been the quirky go-to for all things Halloween and as the witchin’ season approaches shops become veritable costume one-stops. Stay tuned, their Halloween site is soon re-launching!
