Eight New York day parties that will make your summer go off

The Roof

From May to September the Output rooftop is simply called The Roof. Its deck and terrace has an expansive view of the Manhattan skyline and the East River and it’s easily the best rooftop in Brooklyn. It's open some weekdays and Sundays, too.

BlkMarket Membership

BlkMarket Membership are scene veterans that have a decade under their belts of hosting premier house and techno events. Known for their off-grid events, count yourself lucky if it’s four in the morning and you’re at BlkMarket warehouse party in Brooklyn. They host a few day parties this summer, a highlight: an afternoon with tiNI and party founders and residents Taimur & Fahad.

Mister Sunday

Mister Sunday is a kind of backyard BBQ meets dance party. Kids under 18 go free as long as an adult accompanies them, and dogs are welcome on leash. It’s a family-friendly atmosphere but these guys are serious about the party. Mister Sundays has a couple of rules to enhance your experience. They ask, “First and foremost, enjoy yourself” but while on the dancefloor “ Please don't take photos. And please don't text or make calls.” Mister Sundays is weekly until the end October.
