New York City fun in 2010

This year will be better, we promise. We've got 12 months of fun planned out for you...pants optional.

While 2009 pretty much sucked (as did the decade, as Time so aptly put it), we can't wait to get going on 2010! We're hoping it starts off as promising as last year, when things like a "No Pants Subway Party" suggested brighter days ahead. So click through our 2010 calendar and discover a city full of festivals, foodie events, drink-a-thons, obscure holidays, fashion soirees and not one but three events that involve dressing up in weird holiday garb, walking around town in a drunken haze and scaring the hell out of the locals. Here's to a new, less suck-tacular decade!
