"If you want to throw a serious banger on the Lower East Side, there’s no better place than Parkside Lounge, which is open until 4am every night. The dive has been around since 1956, and looks it, with an accumulation of assorted random signs on the walls of the main room in front. Their rentable back room, which also hosts comedy and music events, is big enough for a mid-sized wedding, and relaxed enough for a birthday party of any (legal drinking) age." - will hartman, bryan kim, neha talreja
