Half-price drinks from 4PM to 8PM make it an easy sell — stick around after happy hour and the energy only gets better. It's the kind of night that reminds you why Hell's Kitchen's gay scene is impossible to leave.

Motherdisco takes over 3 Dollar Bill for an afternoon-into-evening dance marathon that's part celebration, part community gathering.

It's the kind of event where you show up for a few hours and suddenly it's midnight and you're still dancing. Memorial Day weekend just got a lot more fun.
