The city is finally alive again. Longer days, warmer nights, and a calendar packed with reasons to get everyone together. The only mistake you can make in April is waiting too long to lock something in.
Here's what's left this month — and where to celebrate it:
NBA Playoffs – First Round Running Now
Every Game Is a Reason to Get a Group Together
The first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs is underway and every game matters. Watching from your couch doesn't compare to being in a room full of people who actually care about the outcome.
Featured Venue: The Rutherford
Steps from Madison Square Garden, The Rutherford is the ultimate playoff watch party spot. Multiple TVs, a lively crowd, shareable bites, and craft cocktails — plus an enclosed heated rooftop if you want skyline views with your game day. Party packages make it easy to lock in space for your group.
420 – Monday, April 20
Make Monday Feel Like a Weekend
Yes, it's a Monday. But 420 has never really cared about the work week. A laid-back bar with good food, cold drinks, and zero rush is exactly what the night calls for.
Featured Venue: Printers Alley
Printers Alley in Midtown is the move for a low-key but lively 420 night. Big projector screens, an outdoor patio, a full comfort food menu, and a private bar area for your group. Come for the drinks, stay for the energy.
Earth Day – Wednesday, April 22
Get Outside. Grab a Rooftop.
The best way to celebrate the planet is to enjoy it. A rooftop happy hour hits different when the weather finally cooperates. Round up your crew and get some fresh air — drink in hand.
Featured Venue: Meili Rooftop
Meili Rooftop delivers panoramic skyline views, refreshing cocktails, and shareable bites in a sleek open-air setting. Perfect for a birthday, a team mixer, or just a Tuesday that deserves more than a desk. Flexible for intimate groups and full buyouts alike.
Spring Birthdays – You Know Who You Are
April Birthdays Deserve More Than a Group Chat
Spring birthdays are the best birthdays. The weather is good, people actually want to go out, and a great venue in April looks a lot better than it did in February. Stop putting it off.
Featured Venue: The Armory BK
The Armory BK is a bold, spacious Brooklyn venue with high ceilings, an industrial-chic vibe, and a flexible layout built for celebrations. Seated dinners, cocktail-style receptions, dance-forward parties — it adapts to whatever kind of night you're throwing. Big energy, lots of room, and a Brooklyn address that delivers.
