Hey {{ Name | there }}!
This week is about new experiences. And New York has a few ideas.
Tonight, Open Decks at SILO is exactly what it sounds like — a chance to hear tomorrow's talent before anyone else does. And if you want something completely left-field for a Tuesday, Sugar, We're Hoein Down at 3 Dollar Bill is queer line dancing to emo, alt, and pop-punk bangers. Beginner lessons included. No country music at this hoedown.
Wednesday, Clear Club at H0L0 is doing something genuinely different. A sober dance party with a house dance class, a botanical beverage bar, Miss Gypsy on the decks, and a connection lounge with art supplies. When was the last time you were on a dance floor completely clear-headed? It turns out it's a different experience entirely. Worth finding out.
Thursday, ON TOP at Le Bain is in its 16th season for a reason. Susanne Bartsch assembles a cast of delightful characters for queer joy on a rooftop above the city, and it is reliably unlike anything else happening on a Thursday night anywhere.
New DJs. New dances. New ways to get down.
New York is looking out for you this week.

🔔 Never Miss a Last-Minute Drop 🔔
NYC club culture runs on its own timeline — which means some of the best events only surface 24 hours before they happen, buried in someone's Instagram stories with an RSVP link that disappears in ten minutes.
I catch as much as I can for the newsletter, but when something drops late, Instagram is where I post it first.
