"With a massive outdoor space where you can hang out with your dog and listen to live DJ sets, Ridgewood's Nowadays is unique by NYC standards, and it’s the perfect place to gather with a huge group. If it's cold outside, you can also hang in the big indoor space, where they host dance parties on the weekends. Tickets usually go for around $20." - will hartman, bryan kim, kenny yang, neha talreja
"Holy spaciousness, Nowadays! This outdoor bar reminds us of why we came to Bushwick in the first place: it's vast, it's community-driven, it's casual, it's FUN. It's like you're hanging in someone's backyard: picnic tables, umbrellas, grass to lounge on, bocce, ping-pong, burgers + beers, and great tunes. Nowadays is what dreams are made of." - WSDIA | WeShouldDoItAll
"It’s summer, which means you can go out on a Sunday and be just a little hungover on a Monday morning if you want to. The best place to do that is outdoors at Nowadays, a bar in Ridgewood that's been fine-tuning their "Mister Sunday" party every weekend, from May to Halloween for the last 15 years. Go dance your heart out next to a bunch of people who have probably been out since the day before." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
"In addition to a food festival, Weeksville Heritage Center's Juneteenth series involves a dance floor to celebrate on at Nowadays. NYC’s legendary daytime party Mister Sunday is doing a Juneteenth Takeover from 3-7pm this Sunday featuring performances by Underground Resistance’s Mark Flash, Nomadico, and SHYBOI. A grill menu from Diner by the Izakaya will be available. RSVP here for a reduced ticket price before 5pm, or get your tickets at the door. A portion of the day’s proceeds will support future abolition-related programming at WHC." - neha talreja
"New York City rites of passage include hailing a yellow taxi cab, standing in line at Lucali, and going to Mister Sunday, the daytime DJ sets that take place during the summer at Nowadays, a large outdoor bar in Ridgewood. Most days are fun days at Nowadays, where picnic tables crowd the yard, and where a restaurant called Zumbador serves Mexican food until late. But if the idea of getting your life together on a Sunday has always rubbed you the wrong way, you’ll thrive here on the last day of the week. Keep an eye out also for their 24 hour non-stop weekend parties, and check their events page for more information and cover charges. photo credit: Nowadays" - Willa Moore
