PARTY IN NYC—NOT DC—ON INAUGURATION DAY.

Can’t make it to DC? Or maybe you just dislike standing in the freezing cold for hours, no matter how momentous the occasion? We hear ya. Here are three places offering local celebrations on Inauguration Day:

APT
419 W. 13th Street
212.414.4245
10PM—4AM

Groove to the sounds of the Brooklyn Wonderland DJs: Stylus and Stone spin funk, soul, afrobeat, and world house from 10PM until 4AM.

Lupanar
103 Essex Street (North of Delancey)
212.260.2036
8PM—?

Lounge away in the basement room of this LES French restaurant whose name is slang for “bordello.” A-hem.

SOB’s Party For Change!
204 Varick Street @ West Houston
212.243.4940
11AM—11PM

This is the big one, folks, an “all-day Obama-Fest” with a live broadcast of the swearing in at noon, a re-broadcast at 7pm, DJ’s and live acoustic acts all day long and Potent Patriotic Cocktails & Obama Power Happy Hour from 5-7PM. Should be a hoot.
