Just because party-goers in America during the 1920s didn't have Instagram to document their debauchery, it doesn't mean that they were having any less fun or that their fun wasn't being captured on film. These photos are proof of NYE craziness from the '20s to the '50s in America, mostly in NYC, showing everything from the diners to Times Square and Studio 54. Looks like they were saying "last night was mad real" back then, too.
