New Year's Eve Suggestions? - 4 People, low-key
Hi! I just moved to New York City and don't really know my way around yet! Some of my friends are coming in for New Year's Eve. We want to find a bar/pub where we can get great food for dinner and affordable drinks all night. We don't want a party scene, just an easy, festive bar scene with some good food. Something like the Blind Tiger NYE event sounds ideal (one location, good beer, buffet, once price, in the LES.) Does anyone have any other recommendations?
We live in the UES but can go wherever as long as it's subway-accessible! Preference would be LES/Alphabet City/West Village, but that's not required. We'd like to stay in Manhattan just to make getting home easier.
Thanks all!

One of the worse nights of the year to go out for dinner in NYC; usually overpriced rip offs. Suggest you get take out from your favorite restaurant and stock the home bar with your guests usual drinks as well as some movies. Certainly cheaper and safer than going to a restaurant on New Year's Eve.

Thank you for the replies everyone! I think we will go to our neighborhood bar. I think by "low-key" I actually meant, "Not an insane 8-story disco dance party" - crowded is fine but we don't want to have to drink Red Bull to enjoy the party, and we don't want to change venues or have to find a cab home. Your suggestions have been great so far and I'll forward them to my friends for discussion!

Most bars have a set price for the evening, and taxis are impossible so stay near the 4/5/6... even better, stay near an express stop so you're not waiting forever for a 6..... I'd check out some of the wine bars on the UES on down and see who has a reasonable price... again, most will be an all inclusive, all you can drink for some $$... some are better deals than others

And bear in mind that this is not the night of the year to find "low key" bars, especially downtown. It's a big payday for bar owners and staff, so they are going to raise the volume and whoop it up all they can to bring people in. Best suggestion for low key drinks: go out January 1.
