DJ’s Richie Panic and Jeffrey Paradise spin their
eclectic-electro-punk-dancey best at this weekly hipster haven where

her face. …read more

10PM -3AM
present this filthy get-together with DJ Robbie Martin and featuring TitanMen Exclusive Chad Manning. Expect loud music and a mixed crowd of pervs. $10. More info here.
9PM
Let’s
just say that there are a lot of polo shirts and
while we’re totally cool with that and lots of pretty boys were wearing
them, it can be a little unnerving. Their tagline, oddly, is “Upscale,
Downlow,” even though there’s nothing really down-low about it. DJs Lee
Decker and Luke Fry will be spinning, and there’s 2 for 1 vodka
cocktails before 10:30, c/o 42 Below.

“There’s no basement at the Alamo!” This week’s pre-show is the much loved “Peaches’ Playhouse,” featuring Precious Moments as Jambi and Puttanesca as Charo. And as with all Midnight Masses, you’re there for the pre-show and the first half hour of the movie, tops. Only the hardcore cult movie people stay for the whole thing. Tix.

Bloc Party @ Easternbloc

This
is one of our favorite gay bars in New York: the music’s good, the
crowd is smart and cool, the bartenders are hot and it’s the kind of

Saturday
369 W 46th Street
We
think the name of DJ JonJon Battles new party at The Ritz is probably
meant ironically, or it’s a reference to the Peter Gabriel song.
Anyway, try to stay clear of that narrow-ass corridor and enjoy the
electro-pop goodness while sipping that low-carb vodka soda.

Garden of Ono @ Hotel Gansevoort18 9th Avenue
6 PM – Midnight
Josh Wood, DJ Steve Travolta and hosts Nick Van Bremen and Erik
Bottcher are bringing back this series of summer garden parties, on the
roof in the Meat Packing District. Last year Michael Musto gushed it
was “a big oh-yes,” and though everyone in New York tires of things
really quickly, Cuckoo Club still hasn’t died so maybe this more mellow
alternative won’t either. Reserve a cabana ahead if you want to be
fancy like that.
