TripSavvy's editorial guidelines Updated on 12/29/20 Share Pin Email Sascha Kilmer/Getty Images It might not be Times Square, but New York's Long Island doesn't lack when it comes to New Year's Eve fun. Celebrating the end of the year on Long Island, you can expect elegant dinners, flowing champagne, and 1920s theme parties with costumes and jazz (Long Island is the setting for "The Great Gatsby"). Whether you stay on the west side closer to New York City or travel out to the Hamptons, there is some kind of New Year's celebration for everyone on Long Island. Most New Year's parties have been scaled back or canceled in 2020–2021. Be sure to confirm the most up-to-date details with the event organizers . 01 of 06 The Mansion at Glen Cove The Mansion at Glen Cove View Map Address 200 Dosoris Ln, Glen Cove, NY 11542-1217, USA Get directions Phone +1 646-518-8771 Web Visit website The New Year's Eve party at the Mansion at Glen Cove is one of the most elegant events on the North Shore of Long Island. Typically, the night is filled with lavish drinks and dancing in a black-tie gala, but the 2020–2021 celebration is scaled back and instead is an early dinner, beginning at 4 p.m. On December 31, 2020, guests can join in for a four-course meal that starts off with a complimentary glass of champagne. The delectable starters include crab cakes, French onion soup, and roasted beets with goat cheese. For an entree, there's no better way to start the year than a filet mignon with a side of lobster. 02 of 06 The Royal Palm View Map Address 2143 Boundary Ave, Farmingdale, NY 11735, USA Get directions Phone +1 516-845-1151 Web Visit website The Royal Palm, a Nassau County banquet hall, might just be the best place to celebrate the start of the new year. The facility has been throwing bashes since the 1960s, so they've perfected throwing a fabulous New Year's Eve party. For 2020–2021, the typical party is a sit-down dinner from 6–9 p.m. Enjoy a prix fixe meal, a sweet dessert finish, and, best of all, an open bar. There is also live music entertainment to keep everyone in a festive mood throughout the event. 03 of 06 Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa Gurney's View Map Address 290 Old Montauk Hwy, Montauk, NY 11954-5048, USA Get directions Phone +1 631-668-2345 Web Visit website This oceanfront resort is a historic venue and Long Island icon that opened in 1926 and has been holding themed New Year's Eve bashes for over 50 years.

Have your own private celebration with ocean views while enjoying Maine lobster, truffled pasta, and filet mignon (with a bottle of champagne to toast the new year, of course). NYE doesn't get any more extravagant than this. 04 of 06 Mirabelle at Three Village Inn Mirabelle at Three Village Inn View Map Address 150 Main St, Stony Brook, NY 11790, USA Get directions Phone +1 631-751-0555 Web Visit website The Three Village Inn overlooking Stony Brook Harbor offers two ways to celebrate the New Year.

The usual suspects are on the menu, such as pancakes and eggs Benedict, along with non-traditional brunch items like oysters and mussels. For a small extra cost, you can also indulge on unlimited mismosas.
