i, personally am not a big fan of new years....it is amateur night out, but if you will be down here for a while, there are a ton of spots to check out... number one is cielo, there is a great party there almost every night...masters at work on wednesdays is really good. i agree with andy d., jonathan peters may be the worst dj ever...crack-head music, 15 hours of the same beat. morillo does an after hours at discotheque, but i must warn you, every time i hear morillo outside of nyc, i think he is great....but in nyc, he plays a different style, and alot of jonathan peters fans are beginning to like him. crobar is awesome on certain nights, roger sanchez now (FINALLY) has a monthly residency there. there are also plenty of smaller venues that are really cool....check out sullivan room. send me a pm as it gets closer to your visit, i will help you out.
