The unofficial start to summer has *officially* arrived, as has the reminder that you didn’t get invited to someone’s Hamptons or shore house. Worry not, because bumper-to-bumper traffic on the LIE and uncharacteristically cold, rainy weather is what you’re likely leaving behind.
Now that you’ve accepted the state of your staycation, let us be the first to remind you that Memorial Day Weekend in the city is ripe with some pretty sick rooftop parties. The kinds that promise up-close and personal DJ sets and hundreds of strangers celebrating freedom from winter’s death grip.
From Williamsburg warehouses to unassuming SoHo hotel decks, fun in the sun will be had this MDW... with other 20- and 30-somethings who also decided to sit out the mass migration out East.
Oh, that sweet, sweet smell of SPF and tequila.
