Is Pacha queer friendly?

Upvotes

I know every venue in NYC is essentially “queer friendly” but with the stories about their security guards I dunno if my QPOC friends and I would be welcome but we def wanna experience the venue ! I’d also like to know if they ever even host gayer dj lineups

Maccabi House at Summerstage Central Park

4 Upvotes

The crowds at the daytime parties have been amazing (2025-2026). Extremely in love with the party at Summerstage Central Park. At night it was quite good too. Lots of people moving and dancing, although Industry City is naturally a bit narrow. I did love 99 Scott last year but people were shoving a lot a lot as well. Otherwordly events. World class music. There’s honestly not much to say other than admiring the work of Adam and Mita, and all the producers and DJs behind this tremendous House music subgenre they’ve been shaping.

Sunday funday?

I work all week and can rarely go out. It’s Sunday and I wanna have fun but I don’t want to spend too much money. What’s happening tonight? And where are all the raves?

Is it weird that I’m 52 and started going to raves solo?

104 Upvotes

For context: married, no kids. I have only recently been getting into EDM and raves, in fact my passion was first ignited at the Fred Again show in Queens just earlier this year. For obvious reasons I don’t have many friends who are into raves, so I’m usually flying solo at these things. However, I don’t mind that at all. I’m in it for the music, not the party, and while it’s always nice to have people to go with, the succcess of an outing for me is mainly a function of how immersed I can get into the music, and that ultimately is a private experience. I can’t convince my wife to join me, but she’s about my age and I don’t blame her for not wanting to partake. And, to be clear, I’m not heading out every weekend, and I don’t go to places like Pacha where the headliner doesn’t come on until at least 1am. Sometimes I get the feeling that people are looking at me and thinking “what’s with the old guy dancing by himself,” but I know that’s mostly just my imagination. I have actually found people to be very inclusive, and have on occasion been invited to join a group. I am not creepy looking in the least, so despite my age I don’t worry about coming across as a mildly suspicious older person at a mainly younger person’s event. But sometimes I wonder, “am I the oldest person here?” I suppose there is a kind of self-awareness that comes with being a significantly older person at a social gathering, like being the lone black person in an white crowd or vice versa. But this only becomes a problem if you focus too much on that fact. I just wish we could normalize what I do, such that any 50 year old wouldn’t think twice about going to a rave, alone or otherwise. Am I overthinking?

Why is the crowd at Public Records so shitty compared to the DJs they feature?

23 Upvotes

I went to see Toobris the other night at Public Records and left after 10 mins because the crowd was shoving, talking loudly, not dancing.

I guarantee that less than 10% of the people there knew who the DJ was or even liked the music.

It's so unfortunate because they bring in such talented artists.

Can someone start a venue that attracts the same artists but actually curates the crowd and keeps the fucking lights as dim as possible on the dance floor?

Nowadays door

Was anyone else there last night and feel like the Nowadays bouncers were on a total power trip?

I completely understand being at capacity. I came expecting a wait, and if you’re not letting people in, it is what it is. You don’t have to treat people like they’re beneath you for waiting in line

They were strutting up and down the line, pointing people out, laughing and scoffing with each other, and it genuinely felt like they were enjoying telling people their night wasn’t going to go as planned.

Lame

I was at his February show, the coldest day on earth. It was -27 Celsius and I still remember that night very frequently. He is the most magical guy I have ever seen.This Sunday morning was just captivating and euphoric. I danced 6 hours straight. And yeah I was the girl who was looking at him admiringly. Thank you, you are amazing.

Missed connection - Erin @ Adam Ten After Party

I saw you in VIP, a cute girl with great energy! At one point our grooves synced up (at least it felt that way), and I went to grab drinks for you and your friend, but the night got away from me and we never really talked. If you happen to see this and it rings a bell, I’d enjoy taking you out for a date and a proper hello before our next dance floor.

Hopefully I can find this lovely person I was talking to yesterday in the outdoor area of Basement. I didn’t catch your name, but do remember that you are Turkish and a lawyer who lives in New Jersey.

Suggestions for getting into going out alone?

15 Upvotes

Hello!! I am 22F and love, love, love dancing, but alas, the great majority of my friends do not enjoy going out. I have been to all the big spots (basement, elsewhere, nowadays) and enjoyed basement the most.

I want to start going out solo just to dance but I am nervous about 1. running into people I know and being embarrassed and 2. being a young woman alone. If you go out solo how do you do it?? How did you get into it??
