What are your New Year’s Eve plans? Stress no more — Gotham West Market (600 11th Avenue, 212-582-7940) has residents covered with a gourmet party crafted just for the occasion. This event is a great option for revelers who want to stay local to dine, drink and dance the night away — like having a fabulous house party minus all the work! Delectable eats from such vendors as Uma Temakeria (sushi burritos, hand rolls and more), Indie Fresh (gluten-free goodies, soups, smoothies), The Cannibal (charcuterie), Choza Taqueria (Mexican fare) and many others will be served. Communal tables will boost the party atmosphere, ensuring a festive dinner for you and your neighbors. When you’re ready to burn off some of those calories, there’s no need to hustle out to a club — DJ Huggy Bear will be right there to man the turntables. You can boogie while you watch the ball drop on a big screen.
