NYE at Times Square restaurants doesn't come cheap

Posted online
Would you pay $400 per person for a night at the Olive Garden? How about if that Olive Garden had a prime view of the New Year’s Eve ball drop in Times Square?

ABC News reports every New Year's Eve, many of the chain restaurants in Times Square turn into a wonderland for revelers, with tickets ranging from $199 to as high as $799. The venues provide food, a view of the ball drop and bathroom access.

What are the potential hot spots this year?

According to ABC, at Olive Garden, the $400 ticket will gain you entrance to a buffet, open bar, midnight champagne toast, party favors, a DJ and a dance floor. Ruby Tuesday is advertising the closest views to the famous ball drop for $349 a ticket. Applebee’s will cost you $375, T.G.I. Friday’s runs cheaper at $199, but doesn’t have a view of the ball.

The most expensive chain on the list? Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. at $799 at ticket, but the circus-themed event already is sold out.
