The Deal: Svedka Open Bar 10-10:30
The Place: Veronica People's Club
The Price: FREE
The Details: Williamsburg used to be a safe haven during douchey holidays like NYE but now with the condo crowd in around that's no longer true. The Burg is going to be overrun with d-bags tonight but Greenpoint should be a safe zone. Stay close to home and party for free at Veronica's.

The Price: $20-$25

The Deal: $2 Bud & Bud Light 10-12
The Place: St. Jerome's
The Price: FREE
The Details: If you're a regular at St. Jerome's you probably already know about this party and if you're not, well, you're probably not getting in. This is a semi-private event and you really do need to know someone to get in. If you do get in it will be fucking crazy. You'll literally party like a rock star because half the people inside will in fact be rock stars.

The Deal: Champagne Toast at Midnight
The Place: Party Xpo
The Price: $10
The Details: The only booze promised is free champagne at 12 but don't fret, everytime I've been to this joint they've had $3 beer. There will be bands like Rifle Recoil, Sounds of Kaleidoscope and "secret guests". For a measly $10 that ain't bad.

The Place: Electric Warehouse
The Price: $25-$1,000 (Seriously)
The Details: If you wanna go big for NYE but still wanna keep it all gritty and Brooklyn then this is the spot for you my friend. The open bar option starts at the $50 ticket range, which really isn't too bad for an all night (9pm-6am) open bar. There's a shitload of DJs like Cobra Krames, Atom C, Mojo, Barney Iller and like 20 more (not kidding).

The Deal: Free Beer on the bus!
The Place: Lone Wolf & 597 Manhattan
The Price: FREE
The Details: Two parties in one and it's free! Good enough for me. Party at Lone Wolf then hop on the complimentary party bus and drink FREE BEER while you head over to 597 Manhattan for party 2. This is a metal party so all you longhairs have not one but two spots to headbang in 2011.

The Deal: Free Champagne at Midnight
The Place: The 1896
The Price: $20-$40
The Details: Rubulad is one of the longest running underground parties in Brooklyn. The cover is pricey, considering there's no open bar but it should be good times so we're listing it anyway. Being that it's DIY the booze should be fairly reasonable. Live bands (The Beets, VivaMaria & more) and DJs (Pork Chop, Shakey, etc.).

The Deal: "Cheap Drinks"
The Place: Newsonic
The Price: $5 suggested
The Details: A rock n' roll loft party in Hasidic Williamsburg. Wanna know why these Newsonic parties are always on Friday? It's because the Hasidic neighbors can't operate a phone after 5pm, no one can call the cops. See, religion
is good for something! They're doing that "cheap drinks" shit which we hate but I think they sell like $3 beers but it might be $4, which isn't actually cheap for Natty Ice. So might want to flask it in case.
