DJ Max Rodriguez

A Sunday afternoon set from Hope 808 at ANIMAL — the kind of DJ moment that turns a lazy summer day into something worth getting out for. No cover, good vibes, and the space to actually hear what's happening.

Sunday afternoons at Rise belong to the regulars who show up for DJ Steve Sidewalk and DJ Paul Leasure spinning the best beats, drink specials until 9pm, and bar bites to keep the good times rolling. It's the kind of low-key dance floor energy that makes you actually want to spend your Sunday evening here instead of anywhere else.

An afternoon of quick connections for lesbian and queer women 35 and up. You'll have a series of short conversations with other single women in the community, then note who caught your interest — the organizers handle the rest. It's low-pressure, fun, and designed for people actually looking to meet someone.

Sunday evening at The Eagle is for the leather community's cigar enthusiasts — a laid-back gathering on the rooftop with a view, good smoke, and the kind of crowd that appreciates the ritual. No pretense, just people who know what they like and enjoy sharing it.

Sunday afternoon into evening at Eagle NYC means beer, DJ sets, and the leather bar's signature vibe. Cunningham behind the decks, no cover until 9pm—exactly the kind of low-pressure reason to show up early and stay late. The rooftop, the pool table, the crowd that knows how to have a good time: it's all there.
