Last Minute New Years Eve Plans In NYC

NEW YORK CITY — The time has come to call in 2020 and you've got nothing to do. Don't panic. It's New York City. There's always something to do.

To help get you started planning, here are just few options for every kind of New Yorker.

Extroverts, dare to be crazy. Introverts? Dare to go to bed early.

Take Yourself Out For A Fancy Dinner

Extroverts:

These restaurants still have tables available, according to OpenTable. And GrubStreet's round-up of New Years Eve Prix Fixes has some definite splurges, including a $1,200 per person six-course-dinner with a court side view of the ball dropping.

Whoosh.

Introverts:

Order in a $200 lasagna from Union Square Cafe because you deserve to celebrate you.

Catch a Concert

Extroverts:

See the annual New Year's Eve Concert for Peace, founded by Leonard Bernstein, at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine at 1047 Amsterdam Ave. Tickets cost $40 and the concert begins at 7 p.m.

Introverts:

Live At Lincoln Center will broadcast the New York Philharmonic's tribute to Stephen Sondheim, hosted by Bernadette Peters, on PBS at 8 p.m. Because another hundred people just got off the train and you don't want to deal with any of them.

Culture Vulture

Extroverts:

Attend an eight-hour poetry reading marathon that runs from 2 p.m. until midnight at the The Poetry Project at 131 E. 10th St. in Manhattan.

Introverts:

Sit in a dark room with strangers, none of whom will talk to you or look at you, and watch "Midnight" at The Film Forum.

Go Out With A Bang

Extroverts:

Catch the free fireworks with hoards of your fellow Brooklynites who'll gather at Grand Army Plaza outside Prospect Park. Festivities run from 10:30 p.m. until 12:30 a.m.

Introverts:

Flee. Forbes has rounded up a slew of very quiet places very far away from Times Square. Have a quaint country inn keeper make you a hot toddy before you fall asleep in front of a fireplace at 10 p.m.

The Day After

Extroverts:

Run into the freezing cold Atlantic Ocean with people who, for some reason, believe themselves to be polar bears. Plunge begins promptly at 1 p.m. on Jan. 1. on Coney Island Beach.

Introverts:

Just keep sleeping.
