I’m visiting NYC solo from the UK, 15–20 September, and would love to experience the proper underground/alternative scene.

I’m mainly into hardcore, happy hardcore, hardstyle, tekno, gabber, and free party stuff, and want to find smaller underground party/collective/warehouse-events rather than commercial clubs. Are there any collectives, promoters, venues, Instagram pages, Telegrams etc. I should follow? Also interested in any free parties/more underground stuff but idk what the scene is like in nyc.

Visiting NYC solo from the UK, 15–20 September, and I’m really into graffiti, street art, old industrial areas and generally weird/forgotten parts of cities. I’m on a pretty tight budget so I’m especially interested in stuff that’s free.

Any spots/neighbourhoods I absolutely shouldn’t miss? Also interested in interesting abandoned-looking places like rooftops/viewpoints, old infrastructure etc. Not really looking for the standard tourist recommendations.

Looking for rooftop parking garages, public rooftops, abandoned buildings, etc.. I’m new to the city so have no idea where to go :)

I can either do a dissertation or take extra modules like Further Maths Methods, Econometrics and Game Theory in my final year.

I’m keeping all options open (finance, consulting, policy, data/analytics and maybe academia later), so I’m trying to figure out what’s actually most useful long term.

I’m leaning towards the quant modules since they feel more employability-focused, but I’m not sure how much weight employers or Master’s programs actually put on a dissertation.

Any advice from people who’ve been through it??

Anyone know what’s up? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ I’m nosy
