I don't, and have not for many years, go to NY parties. I always hid in the bathroom at midnight to avoid drunken strangers trying to kiss me. Hated it!
I will be at home and will enjoy the many fireworks right from my balcony. People here love doing fireworks. We could drive a mile or so and watch them at the harbor but I'm fine staying at home. I never am in bed before midnight. New Years day will be football noon until midnight, black-eyed peas, cornbread, and ham. :)
