There's always something happening all around New York City; it's impossible to know everything that's happening in every borough, but I do my best. None of the words or opinions expressed here represent anyone but myself (don't get me in trouble).
I don't know about you, but every time the thermostat reaches above 70°, regardless of my responsibilities or the day of the week, my instant thought is "I should go out." Who doesn't love a sweaty rager in some dark club followed by a breezy walk home at night? Go party and walk around this sweltering city for me this weekend.
Honestly, you could go out anywhere this weekend and it would be worth it. Make the most of this good weather! But if I had to choose...
Caótica with Riobamba is my idea of a good stop on Friday
Barrio Collective brings Prince of Queens and Nico Losada to the Our Wicked Lady Rooftop with resident DJ Adrian is Hungry for a night of Latin music in the open air (I love rooftop season)
Afters on Friday (or an early start on Saturday) with Bootycall comes with harm reduction and sex positive vibes; grab free joints, plan b, and testing strips before hitting the dancefloor.
I'm a dirty lil punk so I'll be at the Flasyd reunion show on Saturday - this band hasn't played since like 2019 and it is allegedly their last show. BIPOLAR and Posterboy2000 round up the sleazy line-up.
There are so many free-to-attend markets on Sunday, take a stroll around Brooklyn and lmk if you hit up Big Night, Pick Up The Flow, and TV EYE (no prize but I will be impressed)
Perreo for a good cause at this stellar line-up from Body Journey at Mansions on Sunday as Fried Platano, Duneska, Total XTC, and more raise money for a Haiti-based org supporting creatives
Wednesday this week is gonna be tough for the punk ravers as they are forced to choose between seeing Rico Nasty and Debby Friday. Flip a coin and decide.
