Your sequined outfit is hanging up in your bedroom closet. Now, all you have to do is figure out exactly what you're in the mood for. New Year's Eve is this Saturday night, and though guest lists are filling up quickly, these hotels still have openings. So whether it's a masquerade ball or a tequila tasting or a circus-themed soiree, we guarantee you'll find what you're looking for below. <h2>For people who like to dress up</h2> When <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Americano/local/4804">The Americano</a> sent us the menu for their new restaurant back in November, we salivated over the "Latin fare with a French flair"-inspired menu (Chile Rellenos, $10; Turbot (flatfish) a

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/THOR1.jpg" class="top">Late last week, we got to check out one of the hottest new joints to hit Manhattan's Lower East Side: the Viktor & Spoils taqueria and tequila bar, located adjacent to the lobby at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Hotel+on+Rivington+THOR/local/1">The Hotel On Rivington</a>. Flushed from a few too many sips of the Central Park Swizzle (Rum Zacapa, lime, grapefruit, sugar, crushed ice, $14), our favorite of the night, we headed off to the bathroom. Once inside, we had to blink and rub our eyes to make sure what we were seeing was correct: the walls had been plastered with actual Mexican peso notes, covering the room from floor to ceiling like strips of wallpaper. Compared to the larger but more sober bathrooms

We've been working on ours for well over a week (OK, more like fifteen minutes, but heywe're New Yorkers, we're busy people!). In any case, it looks like there are a few options for you crazy hotel party crashers out there this weekend. From vodka open bars to haunted hotels to a fashion editor-judged costume contest, you certainly won't be twiddling your thumbs! First up, <a href="<a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hudson+Hotel/local/58">Hudson Hotel</a> has commissioned the talent of <a href="http://www.adamaleksanderpresents.com/">Adam Aleksander</a> to transform the entire hotel into a creepy, crawly, underworld lair. Each of the hotel's three venues (Hudson Hall, Hudson Bar, and Library Bar), in addition to hosting <a href="http://hudsonhotelhalloweentix.com/events/Hudson-Hotel-NYC-New-York/EOxRCFjmTdl">eight separate</a> DJ acts on Saturday night,

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/JohnCOOP.jpg" class="top">Fashion's Night Out had us in a particularly chummy mood. The liquor was flowing, the male models were plentiful, and almost all of the major hotels were hosting parties. We ended up at an event honoring Tara Subkoff's "Imitation of Christ" collection. Settled into a roped-off section at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Hotel+on+Rivington+THOR/local/1">The Hotel On Rivington</a>'s darkly-lit CO-OP restaurant, we bopped along to the music, and sipped cranberry cocktails. Then, we took a trip downstairs to the bathroom. There, we were greeted by the friendly washroom attendant, John. John couldn't have been more helpful, guiding us tipsy party-goers safely towards our assigned stalls, smiling the whole time. John also indulged us with a little Q&A, and one of the burning questions

So far this summer, we've already had our mind blown by chef Daniel Mowles' rooftop lobster bake over at the Roger Smith. And we're ready for the summer freshness to just keep rolling on in.

Next week, The Feast, a glamorized pop up restaurant series by the Guerilla Culinary Brigade, debuts The Feast: L.E.S. Cirque at the Hotel On Rivington. Lobster? You got it. Heirloom tomatoes? Check. Watermelon? Wouldn't be a pop up without it! But don't dally to reserve a seat. The restaurant will only exist for four days.
