New Year’s Eve at Dirty Franks

Though Dirty Franks is better known for its New Year’s Day mummer’s bash, when revelers pop in starting at 9am to pregame for the day’s parade, its gloriously cover-free festivities the night before are just as fun. Show up promptly at 9pm for free noisemakers, freely pouring libations and rowdy tunes cranking out of the jukebox. Champagne and sparklers come out when the magic hour hits and everyone gathers around the TV to watch the Times Square Ball drop.
