After wrapping up her honorable role of helping NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg drop the ball in Times Square, Lady Gaga continued forth with her New Year's Eve celebratory festivities by making her way over to her father's restaurant Joanne on West 68th Street.

Named in honor of the "You and I" singer's dad's late sister, who died at age 19 from lupus, the Italian-American eatery drew out plenty of star power including Ryan Seacrest and girlfriend Julianne Hough, as well as Ashley Tisdale, Derek Hough and Jenny McCarthy.

As for her experience dropping the ball to ring in 2012, Gaga was overwhelmed by the happenings, as she tweeted, "I cant even quite describe what tonight felt like. Sort of poetic madness. A dream come true. Moments recalling a leather taking the subway."

The 25-year-old superstar also offered up her resolution for the next twelve months, as she posted another message reading, "My new years resolution: Never be afraid to be kicked in the teeth. Let the blood and the bruises define your legacy. - Lady Gaga 2012"
