Parties in New York

Spending some time going through what people in New York are genuinely engaging with, one trend became clear — parties is quietly shaping the city’s event scene right now. Instead of the same old club nights, a handful of very specific happenings keep showing up in conversations, saves, and shortlists.

Six events, in particular, are doing the heavy lifting for parties events in New York: Disney On Ice presents Mickey's Search Party, Friday Night Blues Annual Community Jam!, LANDFILL, Krojova Zabava, Trans Musician & Tech CEO Michele Bettencourt's VAMPIRE TIME at NY's Cutting Room, 1/26 , and ‡ procession: a lascivious danse macabre ‡. Together, they’ve already been appreciated by over 1018+ people — a very real signal of where the city’s attention is drifting when it comes to the best parties in New York this month.

These experiences are mostly unfolding across Grand Central Terminal, Mercury Lounge - New York, and Mercury Lounge - NY — three spaces that regular event-goers return to for their comfort, crowd, and consistency. If you’re choosing plans based on where locals are actually showing up, these venues are your current north star.

If you’re exploring New York through the lens of parties, this page reflects what the city is naturally leaning toward — a mix of big nostalgic spectacles, community-driven jams, and gloriously weird late-night performances that feel very New York, right now.
