I have the same experience but am fairly certain the story sounds accurate.

I use to go to a fair amount of underground parties after last calls when I was younger, and there are definitely people out there. I’d bet places like Bushwick are a good bet to look with the big industrial spaces.

Even if it was 15 parties a weekend, times 500 people a party... it’d still only be 7,500 people in a city of 8 million (that’s if 400,000 truly left), I’m sure it’s concentrated primarily among ravers, and dancers, and clubbers.

I went to a few during late summer around Bushwick and East New York. They're happening regularly. One I went to was in a basement of an unfinished apartment building.

So you are one guy living somewhere in New York City, and reporting that based on your view from your window, you report that nightlife has indeed, for the most part stopped save the few small gatherings? okay..
