Below: the top 10 with what they play and their next night, where the nights are, when to go and what it costs, and a table of every venue with the date of its next night. Ticket buttons go straight to the seller.

By neighborhood, East Village (9), Bushwick (8), Lower East Side (4) and Williamsburg (1) lead. Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens each have their own party list, night by night.

Who else plays it

Beyond the top 10, 2 more venues host at least one hip-hop and R&B night in the next 60 days; they are in the table below. Every night is on the hip-hop parties and r&b parties pages.

When to go and what it costs

Saturday is the busiest night with 14 nights, then Friday (7) and Wednesday (1). Most of the calendar is Friday and Saturday; midweek nights are fewer, cheaper and easier to get into. The typical night starts around 10pm, and 63% start at 10pm or later.

Tickets start at $12 and the typical lowest price is $31; 50% of the priced nights cost $30 or less. 5 nights were already sold out when we last checked, so buy early for the big names.

Before you go

Every night here is 21 and up unless the listing says otherwise, and the door checks a government photo ID; visitors from outside North America should bring a passport. Bars and clubs can serve until 4am (what time bars close), and the subway runs all night.

Ticket prices on this page are the lowest we saw on each seller's page when we last checked it (most nights sell on DICE, which shows the price with fees). Drinks inside are extra: menu prices in NYC do not include the 8.875% sales tax, and the tip is a dollar or more a drink.
