For some non-EDM all-comers dance floors
*both much more dance-active later and on weekends
*ethyls leans a little disco, hsh depends on dj usually pretty poppy/hippy hoppy
Small dance floor so not gonna recommend it on a weekend but sound/vibe will be legit for actual dancing. Also in NYC the real dancers — for house at least — tend to follow particular DJs (in the Paradise Garage and Club Shelter traditions) but I am personally out of the loop so you'd best ask the rug cutters in question when you spot them in the wild. Also look into Friends and Lovers in Crown Heights — another spot run by old-school heads.
Cubbyhole for more of a chill bar, Henrietta Hudson for more of a club vibe, Ginger’s in park slope, the woods on Wednesdays, I think there’s one that opened recently in bushwick called the bush that I don’t know much about. Have fun!!!
meaghan garvey is our decade’s hunter s. thompson. with origins / a focus in music journalism, she seems to just float through chaos and writes really well about it.
she inspires me to talk to strangers and get into a little trouble every now and then
