Welcome to your brand new Bushwick nightlife series, Bushwick Nightly. As the unofficial (or is it official?) party capital of NYC, there are so many things to do after dark.

Bushwick, and Brooklyn in general, wasn’t always the party mecca that we now know it to be. The Beastie Boys’ 1986 classic No Sleep Till Brooklyn was all about how while the title of “City That Never Sleeps” was well earned, it did not extend past the East River.

In time, this has changed with our neighborhood’s unique geography and infrastructure, which provide ample space to inspire creativity in both party makers and partygoers. We have an abundance of repurposed buildings that contribute to a thriving district. Bushwick’s freedom of expression and focus on acceptance, tolerance and visibility are unmatched by many other neighborhoods across the five boroughs. It’s for these reasons that we have guests from Harlem to Haiti to Hamburg out on any given night in Bushwick.
