New Years Eve at Gurney's Montauk

The freshly renovated Gurney’s Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa, now under new ownership, hosted a New Year’s Eve party called “James Bond on the Ocean: An Evening to Ring in 2016!” The swinging affair that included an open bar, late night bites, a champagne toast at midnight and a live feed of the Times Square ball drop. The killer evening also included sounds by Gurney’s Beach Club’s DJ Nicole Leone, and a special performance from electric violinist Jonathan Dinklage. In case that wasn’t enough, there were several gambling stations called “Chips for Charity” to benefit The Retreat, where guests could try their luck on black jack or roulette, while dancing went on till 2 a.m. The following morning there was a plunge in the ocean, a treatment at the spa or simply a room service breakfast.
