TBA Brooklyn Mondays, beginning July 11 9pm-2am no cover

This is our first New Year's Eve party! Yup. Pretty special. It's at our old digs, TBA Brooklyn (395 Wythe Ave. on the corner of South 6th St. in Williamsburg). We're gonna convert TBA back into a real deal nightclub, the way it used to be, with a full-on dancefloor, music as loud as we wanna, and partying 'til the cops come knocking (which they won't, because we've taken care of that too, but it just sounded good). We also decided to buck the trend of overinflated (we might blow up, but we won't go pop...) NYE party prices and make this a nice price for everyone. So it's only $20 to buy tickets in advance, $25 if you prefer to just RSVP , or just $30 at the door. Complimentary midnight champagne toast included. Can't wait to ring it in with you!
