The Soho Grand Hotel is ringing in the New Year with an 80s-themed party. While the concept isn't exactly fresh, the event is sure to be just enough swank and danceable … hits to keep you entertained well after the ball drops. Cover is a hefty $150, and the dress code is 80s glam. Doors open at 9pm and Shawn Regruto and Chris Sealey will be manning the decks.
