Singles, couples, and somewhere-in-betweens, come together for a masquerade party inspired by Baz Luhrmann's visually extravagent cult classic, Romeo + Juliet. Hosted by Supercinema at the McKittrick Hotel--the folks behind the ever-epic Sleep No More--the event encourages guests to throw on costumes (you can choose to be a Montague, Capulet, Angel, Knight, etc.) and enjoy live performances, dancing, and an open bar. Attendees can decide whether to also buy tickets for Sleep No More or merely show up to find their Romeo or Juliet.

You can get more info and buy tickets here.

And for a '90s refresher, watch the trailer for Romeo + Juliet below:

Neighborhoods are gentrifying, nightlife is changing, and the Gay Bar — home — feels increasingly like a relic from when cities were cheap, dirty, and wild.
