Summer in the City – A Guide to the Best Sunday Parties

Summer in the City – A Guide to the Best Sunday Parties


If you aren’t already amping up your Sunday game, take this as a warning. Sundays are basically the best day of the week to go out in the summertime, and there are only five of them left before old Labor Day rolls in. To assist you in figuring out how best to spend the duration, we’ve put together a guide to the best recurring parties that call Sunday home. Remember, there’s no rest day for the weary in the summertime.

1. NY Night Train Sunday Soul Scream

Always a fun time.
