"Enough fog machines to sin continuously for 48 hours"
"5$ for a beer and tequila shot during Happy Hour - ideal for a cheap drink in Chinatown to start your evening"
"Ummmmm, if you’re invited there, and looking for some wild memories, just go. I’ll leave the rest up to you"
"Another restaurant mainstay with a pretty big club room in the back, with two parties usually going on. Prolly get a free drink if you ask when Elvis Guesthouse II is coming (if you know you know)"
"Relatively new venue with three rooms, much like the infamous Output sans all the rules. Personal favorite, haven’t really swung a miss since I’ve been going, but do go there on a weekend"
"Late night dive bar in Chinatown, where the writers go, hit or miss really just a destination for the late night chill, music played on vinyl only"
"Summer vibe for the rave, day time for the outdoor backyard breather"
"A plot of land on the cusp of GreenPoint / Williamsburg. The Lot has become a home for every artist and local pit stop passerby. Music is playing live from 12 - midnight in a cargo trailer much like your local NTS or Balamii booth, equipped with hammocks, fire pit and outdoor cafe"
"As far as I’m concerned, they have the best programming schedule all year long. From book fairs, to immersive installations, to full day raves every Saturday during the Summer. You can’t really lose going here on an off day or when there’s a line round the block"
