New York,

#TGIF Congrats on surviving the week!

Keep cool this weekend at a rooftop film screenings or a silent disco, not your speed? Check out our weekend guide for more ways to have fun before heading back to the grind. 
😜🔍📝

You could always head out to a rooftop bar
🍸🌃🍺or sing your heart out in the lower east side at a karaoke bar, or catch Momix, an acrobatic spectacular, at the Joyce Theatre before it closes. 🎟💃🕴

Have friends come into town? Make sure they experience the best the city has to offer, starting with where they stay.
🏨🥂😎 Or treat yo self, you deserve a staycation (and strong low volume AC). 🎤🎹🎸

No matter how you spend the weekend, it's bound to be a great one.

Listen Up - Arie Lennox - Whipped Cream
Chill Down - Tomb of the Mask
Drink, Drink, Drink, Señora!
If you’re a fan of scenic views from a roof, and if you’re drinking, there are some excellent rooftop bars for you to hit up with the crew or even by yourself to just chill. 
From the Vida Verde Rooftop Margarita Market to the Renaissance Midtown hotel’s Versa, all of these bars are sure to fulfill your scenery needs…and feeds with heights and sights of the city. 
And if you’re walking through the dreaded, crowded Times Square, have no fear of the overly-jammed and busy area, because there’s a safe haven for you to have a drink and see Times Square from a different seat. 
Staycation Please
Is the family coming out to visit you? Or a couple of friends from across the country who haven’t been to NYC? AND they’re all looking to stay at a hotel? Don’t panic; we have some suggestions. 
Caution: these beautiful hotels can be pricey, so split costs wisely if your group is looking for a good time in the city. A classic and well-known location, The Plaza is home to not only the cute character, Eloise but also to beautiful 20th-century appearances. 
But aside from the most popular hotels, there are also some that you may not have heard of, but should indeed have a look at – ranging from The Smyth in the Financial District to the Dream Downtown in Chelsea, and to The Beekman in the Financial District, these hotels will satisfy your family or friend weekend getaway. 
Weekend Guide
TGIF, we made it!

Get out and about this weekend and taste honey, make candles and catch a few great shows. 
Time For an Upgrade
Sponsored by:

Parachute makes a stunning array of products for your bedroom that evoke a natural vibe irresistible to the senses. This goes not only for people, but their dogs too.
Peep the #DogsofParachute hashtag and notice how comfortable these furry companions look in a big plush bed, where you know the owner is about to jump right into after they snap the picture.
The inviting nature of Parachute’s linens is unquestionable and by the looks on these dog’s faces, that fact spans across species. Outfit your home with Parachute’s collection of great bedding options with multiple colors and styles.
Closing Weekend
Some people can do a cartwheel; some can do handstands and others can’t touch their toes. For most of us, the most acrobatic and death-defying stunt we can achieve is peeing with the seat down.

Catch MOMIX's gravity-defying company of illusionist dancers before the show closes this week. 
Labor Day Weekend Plans, Anyone?
Seriously, what better way to kiss Summer '18 goodbye than a daytime yacht party with NYC rock band Blac Rabbit and an open vodka and gin bar by Spring44, beer by our BK friends at Brooklyn Brewery, and complimentary red, white, and rosé wines from The Drop Wine?! 
Sing Your Heart Out
The Lower East Side, Chinatown, and Williamsburg have the places for you vocalists or everyday songbirds to get out there to sing! 
Karaoke brings everyone together at these locations once you bring your friends, families, or dates with you to get up on that stage and belt out your favorite tunes. 
The Alligator Lounge in Williamsburg doesn’t just give you the freedom to be a rock star for a few minutes, but there’s also free pizza. Yes, you read that correctly.
