New Years Eve at the Marcel at Gramercy - a New York City Boutique Hotel

Happy Continued Holidays Everyone !!! It's the Day after Christmas, but the Holiday Season is still in high gear. Especially, at least, for me. Today, December 26th falls on Friday, obviously, and it pads a great long weekend. Before you know it next week on Wednesday night December 31st, New Years Eve will be upon us. I get a lot of mixed feelings about New Years Eve from people. To some I've heard it called "Amateur Night" and categorized like July 4th and the night before Thanksgiving. That is, the night when the young and those that have yet to be disenfranchised by life are numb enough to weather the storm of crowds, high prices and tons of drunk idiots. To other's, they may not go out to the big parties, but still plan something to do to usher in the holiday. Then to another group, whether for the first time, or a long standing tradition, they venture out to the "hot spots" where ringing in the New Year is an event. You all know the places, Las Vegas, New York City, New Orleans. Obviously, New York City and the dropping of the Ball in Times Square is almost synonymous with New Years Eve as Santa Clause is with Christmas.

Well if you had plans on heading to the Big Apple for New Years Eve, and like many of us just didn't find the time to make arrangements I might be of some assistance. Might I add this was not easy. After digging around a little I found that the Marcel at Gramercy, a New York City boutique hotel, still has vacancies up through New Years Eve, with room rates at around $254 per night. First, the property has just had a major overhaul, so it's upgraded and newly designed. Second, the accommodations are included in a package that includes a $30 American Express Gift Card. This is a treasure of a find, especially at this late date. I'm sure that vacancies for rooms will not last for long so if you ever needed to make a move now is the time. Here is some additional information about the Marcel Hotel in New York City.

The New Year will be upon us any day. I wish all of you that read and follow my blog the best of new hopes, directions and dreams.
