Amazing. Incredible. New York at its best. Best conversations and strippers. The people I got to talk to too was dope. Literally my first bar party ever. People gathered around and singing and dancing. True New York experience. I am very thankful for the moments in this place. I need to come back. It was incredible. Learned what New Yorkers are about. Passionate about their history and culture in the city. And that everybody needs shelter and happiness. LOVE YOU NEW YORK.

Ive been celebrating my birthday at Ethyls for years. Im not too sure I would come back. I was so disappointed by the DJ on 1/24/26. The dance floor was empty, one would think the DJ could read the crowd!
