The famous Galapagos New Year's Eve party is getting even more glamorous this year!

At Galapagos we know how to do New Years Eve. In fact we're excellent at it. Years ago we had a thought: if we had to work then we were going to make damn sure we made the party that we'd absolutely die to go to if we weren't working!

So what's on this year?

The best of New York Burlesque and good old-fashioned sweaty New Years Eve dancing to two great Dj's and two of New York's best party bands

The (beautiful!) World Famous Bob hosts a sexy and hot burlesque New Years Eve on our front stage, and she's joined by Veronika Sweet, the incredible Taylor Mac and other burlesque hotties + Galapagos' favorite DJ Boy Racer spins music we KNOW makes you dance + Champagne descends from the ceiling at midnight! At 1am experience our Late Night Amp Up with Galapagos' newest favorite DJ Tikka Masala spinning Bangra mixes, and performances by The Dansettes, The Flanks, and Cheese on Bread!
