EVENT

BYPA's 8th Annual Global Gala: New Year's Eve Passport to the World is a black tie optional, upscale, lavish event with Three Floors, Three Bars, Food, Drinks and Decor of Three Different Cities, and gift bags for all attendees!


VENUE

Lir is certainly no Liberty Hotel, but it is located right in the center of town on Boylston Street. They've got great service, and work hard to make us happy. Plus we can offer a ticket that includes dinner and drinks for around $100 (2 years ago at The Liberty was $300 easy.) Best part besides seeing the fireworks and having First Night at our doorstep? Once you've checked in, you can come and go as you please!


DECOR

You will find the Global theme throughout the party, from the dress of the staff, to the spectacular decor. More details coming soon!


3 COURSE DINNER MENU


•Appetizers in Shanghai include delicious Crab Rangoons and Spring Rolls.

•Dinner in Dublin includes authentic Irish Beef Stew and Fish and Chips

•Dessert in Monte Carlo includes assorted bakery-fresh French and Italian Pastries including: Napoleons, Eclairs, Petit-Fours, Canolis and more!

BARS

There are 3 fully-stocked bars at Lir. There will be one bartender staffed per every 50 attendees, plus specialty drinks will be premixed for those purchasing drink tickets in advance for faster service.
