TAO Uptown NYE /

Under the gaze of a 16-foot Buddha Tao Uptown exudes a sense of peace to party goers entering this hot-spot home to some of the best Asian food you can find in the city. No stranger to the A-list crowd, on New Year’s Eve this restaurant/lounge/nightclub will host an unforgettable New Years party, where everyone will want to be and be seen. The 4-hour premium bar will serve the best liquid delights, the early evening complimentary passed hors d’oeuvres will be tasty, and the DJ performance will keep you dancing until it’s time to ring in the New Year with a glass of complimentary champagne held high. With VIP options ranging from reserved seating to access to the Skybox, all the amenities you need to begin a New Year are right here.

Just off prestigious Fifth Avenue in Midtown East, this three-level, 300-person capacity Asian paradise once housed the Vanderbilt family stables. Later becoming a theater with a balcony, it has ended up as one of the finest eateries in the city. Strategic Group, who brought New York nightlifers the popular venues Avenue, LAVO, and Marquee is behind this beautiful Asian gem.

The decor is a well-balanced mix of Asian and European style, with deep earth tones and comfortable seats at square and round tables set on the tiled first floor. Plush banquettes sit against the walls. Above that is a second floor with more dining space and a bar, and a view of those below. High above it all at 35 feet is the Skybox, which has limited seating and offers views of the partiers below. Exposed brick walls run throughout the venue, and Chinese, Thai, and Japanese objet d’art are found hanging from the ceiling and set on the walls. Just below the Buddha is a reflecting pool with Japanese carp. The scene is alive yet serene–perhaps with the Buddha’s influence so large here.

For a night of exquisite taste for the palate and the visual senses—while partying as hard as you can with a select crowd—to come to Tao Uptown and ring in the New Year in sophisticated Asian style.

What if I don’t see the party I want?

There are literally hundreds of NYE parties to choose from. If you don’t see the one you are searching for call us at 212-366-0752 or email velvetlistny@gmail.com. We will be able to get you tickets to any NYE event in NYC, but not all events make it on our site.

How can I party in Times Square, but not stand outside?

We offer tickets to practically every venue in Times Square. If you want to be in the action but not necessarily standing outside in the freezing cold for hours, this is for you. Many venues offer tickets with a view of the ball drop. It is important to note that if you do purchase tickets to a venue in Times Square the area will be barricaded around noon on December 31, 2016. The NYPD will close off the perimeter of Times Square and the only way to enter this area (assuming you are not a resident living within the perimeter) is to have a ticket to one of our events taking place at a venue inside the barricades. We provide all guests with physical tickets that will permit them to enter through these barricades to attend the events.

How do I get my tickets?

Most of our NYE events require you to either pick up physical tickets or have them shipped to your address. There are certain venues where you can receive your ticket via email and print it at home, or show it on your device at the venue. Please pay attention when ordering your ticket to the ticket pick up options. Ticket pick up dates, times, and locations are all clearly stated in the order form. If you have any questions regarding NYE tickets, please call 212-366-0752 or email velvetlistny@gmail.com.

What is the dress code?

We use a standard NYC nightclub dress code – no hats, not work boots, no baggy attire. However, most party goers get decked out for NYE. We find that most guests tend to come out in cocktail attire, or something close to it.
