New from the lounge's fave Italian restaurant:
For $400, partygoers can enjoy an Olive Garden buffet, open bars and a DJ, according to the New York Post.
The Italian-themed chain is just one of a handful of restaurants in Times Square charging hundreds of dollars for a chance to dance the night away a few blocks from where the ball drops, according to New York show tickets.
While some may shake their head at the idea of spending $400 to ring in the New Year at Olive Garden; the price tag is worth it, Jessica Parkin told the Huffington Post.
Parkin, who rang in 2014 at the Olive Garden in Times Square, told the Post people were desperately trying" to scalp tickets beforehand.
"From the Olive Garden you couldn't see the main stage or the ball drop, but around 11:40 p.m. we were taken through the back door to the Olive Garden and onto the streets in our own gated section where you could see the ball drop and be part of all the action. It was perfect," she told The Huffington Post.

Yes, Daaarling..we couldn't see the stage at our exclusive club/food court and so we were driven like a herd of sheep out the back door (where Prissy stepped on some dog poo-poo). They made sure our fence was up so we could yell with delight..Baaaaaa.Baaaaaa.
I saw the ball fall and ...ahh..like...nobody else could.
