What this experience is

“Saints & Sinners: A New Year's Eve Affair” takes place on Thursday, December 31, 2026 at St. Cloud, the rooftop of The Knickerbocker hotel. The hotel calls it “the closest rooftop to the Ball Drop”. NYC Tourism's 2026 holiday guide places it about 150 feet from the Ball.

Unlike many rooftop parties, the official page explicitly includes outdoor Ball Drop viewing access. It sells four tiers with different entry times and food. Choosing the right tier matters: a later entry costs you rooftop time, while the top tiers add dinner at Charlie Palmer Steak IV.
