<div class="image-container float_right"><div class="image">Strategic Group</div></div>To those appalled or surprised by the Times Square Applebees' <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/applebees-375-new-years-eve-tickets-2013-12">$375 New Year's Eve party</a>, allow us to offer an alternative for a modest price differential.
For $40,000 The Dream Hotel Downtown is offering a king's table for you and 30 or so of your friends. The table comes with 20 bottles of Circo vodka, 20 bottles of 2004 Moet Chandon Imperial, and a new friend for the night, Macklemore.
See, it's not hard to find people doing some seriously ostentatious partying in <keyword id="72226" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="New-York-City">New York City</keyword> on <keyword id="495100" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="New-Years-eve">New Year's Eve</keyword>. What's harder is finding out who - or which spots - are taking the affair more seriously than everyone else. That means setting a solid base - a $40,000 base. After that, it can only get bigger.
The Dream Downtown's package is called, <a href="http://dreamdowntownnye.com/">'Living the Dream,"</a> and it was Strategic Group's Jonathan Schwartz, who made it into a reality after the Dream managed to pin down Macklemore as its New Year's Eve host earlier this month.
"It's funny he [Macklemore] came to the Dream Downtown for the MTV after party that Jay-Z and Diddy held, and he took a liking to it there," said Schwartz.
The Dream Downtown isn't the only spot offering New Year's revelers a super-luxe table. The word on the street is the LIV, the club at Miami's Fontainebleau Hotel has a dream table for its NYE bash featuring Pharrell and Afrojack. Here in New York City, Cedric Gervias is DJing at Marquee and for $20,000 a table of guests can dance right as his feet.
This flies in the face of everyone that has said that <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/bottle-service-is-over-at-nyc-clubs-2013-3">bottle service is dead in nightlife</a>. It's not.
Yes, the DJ experience is drawing crowds that just want to dance, but that didn't kill bottle service, it just rolled it in, and then segmented it into another kind of party. If you want it, it's there, if you don't, that's cool too. Marquee's deal is a perfect example of that - you can have the big name DJ, and the pricey table all at once.
Or you can forego the latter and rock with the masses.
In other words - Not sitting at the Dream Downtown's $40,000 table, or the $15,000 table, or the $10,000 means that you won't get a waitress (gymnast) doing back flips with a sparkler in her mouth delivering your bottles to you, but you can still get into the party by buying a general admission tickets starting at $250.
So mabe you could still make friends with Macklemore if you really, really tried.
Check out the flier for the party below:

NYC's Dream Hotel Downtown Has A $40,000 New Year's Eve Table That Comes With Macklemore's Friendship For The Night

New Year's Eve celebrations come with a lot of expectations - and one of them is the fact that you will be staying up until dawn toasting to the new year.&#xa0;
But if all you want to do is have a bit of champagne and call it a night, you're not alone.&#xa0;<a href="https://jawbone.com/blog/new-years-eve/">According to data collected by Jawbone</a>, a fitness tracker company, nearly one third of Americans are asleep before midnight.&#xa0; 
Jawbone collected information from hundreds of thousands of its users who track their sleep patterns through the wristband UP, and broke it down geographically.&#xa0;
With that data they created a map that shows just how late people from around the world stay up on New Year's Eve:&#xa0;

Apparently the best country to party in on New Year's Eve is Russia. Since Christmas&#xa0;<a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2011/12/27/144326826/for-russians-new-years-eve-remains-the-super-holiday">was removed from the calendar during the Soviet era</a>, all of the traditions of Christmas were moved to New Year's Eve. The holiday has become a "<a href="https://jawbone.com/blog/new-years-eve/">super-holiday</a>," in which people stay up late drinking, "Father Frost" comes to give gifts to children, and people decorate "New Year trees."&#xa0;
Only 71.2% of jawbone users in the U.S. make it to midnight, compared to the astounding 95.4% of Russians who are awake. In the United Kingdom 84% of users are up until midnight, 79.4% in Canada, and 69.9% in Australia (the country that gets the most sleep).
South American countries had a large proportion of users staying awake past midnight&#xa0; - in Argentina 97.5 % stayed up, 94.2% in Brazil, and 96.1% in Chile.&#xa0;Brian Wilt <a href="https://jawbone.com/blog/new-years-eve/">theorized </a>that a reason the South American countries had such late average bedtimes is due to the fact that their New Year's Eve in in the summer.&#xa0;
China and Israel are asleep earlier than any other countries in the world, which make sense since they both have their own New Year's traditions that are celebrated on different days.&#xa0;
But the sleepy U.S. had an average bedtime of&#xa0;12:55 a.m., compared to Russia's average of 3:36 a.m.&#xa0;
In fact, only one city in the US made the world's &#xa0;top 19 list:&#xa0;

So for those in the New York City area, maybe you should check out Astoria this year.&#xa0;

"It's what she loved to do," her family continued, "but, sadly, Saturday was her last dance."They said they are "heartbroken" and "we never imagined her life would end so suddenly," adding that "if you knew her, you knew her warm smile and kindness was contagious."

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Consumers are choosing prosecco over Champagne and opting for cheaper tequila amid economic uncertainty.</li><li>It follows a boom time for top-shelf liquor, which saw double-digit sales growth in 2021. </li></ul>Drinkers are starting to reach for the cheap stuff after months of booming sales for top-shelf alcohol. Sales of premium spirits declined 3.7% in the 48 weeks ending December 3, compared to 4% growth in 2021. And while the highest-end liquor — tequila that costs more than $50, for example — is still seeing sales growth, it slowed to 2% this year compared to 24% in 2021, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/economy-has-drinkers-choosing-prosecco-over-champagne-11672268070" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Wall Street Journal reports</a>, citing an analysis of Nielsen data by beverage industry consulting firm Bump Williams. The premium alcohol business saw a boom in 2021 thanks to traveling and partying finally being back on the table. According to data from the Distilled Spirits Council of the US <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/katedingwall/2022/03/27/in-2021-drinkers-shelled-out-as-premium-spirits-sales-soared/?sh=498ddbd5aad6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published by Forbes,</a> drinkers shelled out for high-end whiskey and tequila at a rate that was more than double the previous five-year average.Sales of Champagne also reached a record high of $5.7 billion in 2021, 14% higher than the pre-pandemic record, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/champagne-sales-record-highs-us-demand-soars-after-covid-lockdown-2022-2">Reuters reported</a>. In fact, heading into New Year's weekend last year, retailers were <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/champagne-shortage-supply-chain-issues-pandemic-extreme-weather-2021-12">worried about keeping Champagne in stock</a> as demand jumped and supply chain challenges made it harder to get. But 2022 looked a lot different. Months of inflation-induced budget stress and worries over what's in store for the economy in 2023 have <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/signs-inflation-hurting-shoppers-retail-earnings-2022-9">led shoppers to make different choices</a>, including buying less and trading down to cheaper products, including lower-priced bubbly like prosecco over top-shelf Champagne.Even before the holidays, retailers were predicting that drinkers would make trade-offs when it came to products like Champagne. Alcohol delivery service Drizly found in its <a href="https://bevalcinsights.com/2022-bevalc-insights-retail-report/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">annual retail report</a> that 59% of retailers were anticipating shoppers would choose less expensive Champagne, or switch to other types of sparkling wine altogether, when shopping for the holidays. Liz Paquette, Drizly's head of insights, told The Journal that an average bottle of prosecco costs $16 on Drizly's site, compared to $57 for an average bottle of Champagne. But before you feel too bad for the Champagne industry, don't worry — it's still on track to beat its 2021 sales record, David Chatillon, chairman of the Union of Champagne Houses, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/champagne-makers-celebrate-record-sales-ahead-christmas-2022-12-21/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told Reuters</a>."We have consumers who are perhaps less impacted by inflation than others, and we have noticed since the end of the pandemic crisis that people want to have fun, they want good products, and opening a bottle of champagne is in itself a celebration," Chatillon said.
