This one’s a big NYE production: ALTER. and SOCIAL SUPPLY are teaming up with the brand-new Thompson Shanghai Expo for a roaming “Walking Supperclub” led by award-winning chef May Chow. After dinner, the party moves up to the 20th-floor rooftop for a free-flow countdown with international guest DJs, local acts, and 270° skyline views. It’s the kind of New Year’s Eve that’s more of a journey than a seated party.
