12 NYC day parties not to miss this summer

From mid-May to September, The Roof at Output is the most consistent place for enjoying at music at an outdoor venue. This year they’ve upped the ante as well, turning their rooftop into an Enchanted Forest, extending day party hours and partnering with Pretty Southern food for fueling through those marathon-dancing sessions.

On Saturdays, they keep light and summery by collaborating with local party purveyors like Tiki Disco, The 808 by MeanRed and 718 Sessions with soulful house legend Danny Krivit.

Sundays on the Roof they go a little deeper and welcome heroes from the underground like Schwarzmann LIVE (Âme & Henrik Schwarz), Cassy, Matthew Dekay and Behrouz. On holidays Everyday People and Okay Africa take over the Roof bringing sexy Afropolitian and Caribbean vibes.

The opening weekend for the Roof starts May 12 with Roy Ayers live.

Mister Saturday Night's Mister Sunday takes place throughout the year, but when Justin Carter and Eamon Harkin bring the event outside it yields an infectious atmosphere not commonly found. Now with a permanent location at Nowadays, the veteran DJs fully deliver their aesthetic, focusing on making people move with their carefully curated selection.

Expect to hear the full musical spectrum at Mister Sunday, with Eamon and Justin digging through their extensive collection to showcase the finest in soul, funk, disco, house and everything in between. Plus, with too many records to count, there will be a few vinyl rarities on rotation. It's always a treat when these guys get behind the decks and IDs are constantly requested.

A few general "rules" make sure the crowd is fixated strictly on the dance. People come to let loose, as they recognize that feeling the energy from the crowd is a special thing. It's difficult to describe the essence of Mister Sunday, but it's one that is best experienced firsthand.
