The Eldridge

Escape the over the top revelry of Times Square or a mega-nightclub and join the super chill New Year’s Eve festivities at Manhattan’s uber-exclusive watering hole to the stars, The Eldridge. For one night only, flashing The Eldridge’s exclusive laser engraved membership cards toted by A-listers, models and socialites to gain entrance to the most celeb packed hot spot will not be necessary. In place, your New Year’s Eve 2010 party ticket will grant you access into the realm of VIP partying at its best and most “upscale low key”.

How low key is The Eldridge? It’s all relative! After all, this hot spot’s nightly clientele are the upper echelon of young Hollywood, music, runway and finance so serving up whatever’s your pleasure in five star fashion by personal butlers in a room lined with a dramatic wall of $650,000 Armand de Brignac champagne is quite the norm! With that said, the only low key detail to The Eldridge may be its chill Lower Eastside locale and its unassuming exterior fashioned after a faux used book storefront.  Its warm cozy ambiance reflect its size, hosting the most elite and beautiful people in Manhattan. Step inside and all that glitters is gold with Chesterfield banquettes, gold specked floors, brick walls, oak plank ceilings, a tiger wood bar, infinity mirrors and an endless chandeliers. Did we mention the $650,000 wall of Armand de Brignac champagne?! You will be impressed!
