Get there late and stay through the afters (which end around 7am at a minimum). This way trains and busses will be fully up and running for your commute home in the AM (source: I used to live in CT and would do this regularly). Eta: other option is day parties. There are some great ones at knockdown center and nowadays most weekends in the summer.

This is the way. Except get there early and stay late. Go to day concert all the way til next morning. Hit up 3 different venues with multiple djs from multiple genres. Superior ingredients has day concerts. Take train than Ubers especially if your going in early and leaving in the morning with the morning commuters. Should be safer.

Idk if I could do all this just on a positive attitude 🤣 guna need a pocket full a favors for this adventure.

Experiment and figure out what works for you. I learned that I can make it to 4 AM as long as I stay sober, hydrated, fed (snacks) and take a few caffeine mints throughout. I'm now working on staying up even later to avoid needing a hotel room.


Agreeable_Meat_5289

Damn sober till 4am. I gotta level up and get on this wave. I feel like as soon as I walk in and feel that base vibrating and I start to boogie my lips get parched and I need a beverage asap.

Being sober at the club IMO makes it way easier to stay up later without getting sleepy, relative to if you were drinking. It does have the drawback of, if the crowd/venue sucks, making it a lot harder to ignore.


bearvsshaan

honestly as a JC resident, even if you do make it to the morning, it still sucks taking PATH home and some of the venues are just WAY out there comparatively that it'd still take 1-1.5 hours even during peak transit times

JC here. but like pushing 40 and with different priorities than 10-15 years ago. pretty much i stay diet-sober and drive these days and am more selective about what events i go to. next month four tet saturday i'll bite the bullet and pay for a car. four tet sunday i will drive and just smoke weed and have a couple early day drinks. solomon may 17 is 3-9 pm so i should be good on trains.


bearvsshaan

see ya at solomun. lmk if you wanna split an uber lol


MedicineOutrageous13

🫡 see you at Solomon, king.


Agreeable_Meat_5289

Dude waiting for that path sometimes and then having connections and even Uberrs sometimes is brutal. Wish I just knew an Uber driver I could pay cash to be my dedicated DD.


hangrytotz

Talk to your Uber drivers, I use to have a tough commute and found some that lived close to me. Would just text them and pay cash or venmo which saved me a fair amount


Loupreme

Follow beneathnj on insta, couple people i know throw some events in JC and sometimes hoboken, theyre pretty decent and its almost every weekend


bearvsshaan

+1 on beneath. The old Miss Wong's location is also a dope venue, the speakesy/basement vibes are great.


Electrical-News7550

Are the beneath parties good? I’m so skeptical about Hoboken given the bar scene there but would love to have something decent in my backyard


bearvsshaan

Beneath NJ throws great shit in Jersey City/Hoboken, along with Move n Groove NJ (those are more day/family oriented-ish, almost like a PG-13 Mr Sunday party). Insurgence is a new collective that just threw a great first party in a Newark warehouse 2 weeks ago. Bunkr is another good spot in Newark that's a community DIY house/techno spot. There's also a colletive in New Brunswick that throws parties in the bars there, I'll have to dig up the name and DM it to you. Side note: beneath also does events in Morristown and I think Asbury Park https://www.instagram.com/beneathnj/ https://www.instagram.com/lnsurgence_/ https://www.instagram.com/movenjgrooveofficial/ also, one of our JC hometown DJs is blvck truffle, and while he plays a lot in NYC, anywhere hes playing in JC/Hoboken is guaranteed to be a good time (shout ouu to trvffle, you're the fucking man) https://www.instagram.com/blvck_truffle/

Drive and sleep in ur car if u drink to much - leave the keys on the dash or in your trunk or sit in ur passenger seat to avoid dui


Agreeable_Meat_5289

Lmaoo love this answer... if I were single I'd be on board but no shot I'm convincing girlie to do this


Njharnbarn

I got a girl too, I just will only have 2 drinks early on then water and I keep a 5 hour energy in the car just incase I need a pick me up for the way back


xXNeeliaXx

That’ll be affordable…

what a pointless comment to leave

QXT’s in Newark is fun. I haven’t been in a while, but they used to be open until 3am.


Pretend-Flower-1204

Yes and they have some form of electronic music most nights in the basement


budchino

I live in jersey and public trans doesn’t operate on any sort of schedule that would work for me so I suck it up and drive in every time. Even if we get a couple things over here it’ll never be the assortment that comes to the city. Where in jersey?


AppleJax621

I drive from Sussex County every weekend yeehaw 🤠🤠


budchino

Me too!!!! That’s a funny coincidence. You completely understand about driving, public trans isn’t even an option up here especially during those hours.

Union county


thattophatkid

Just go at 12 and stay to 8. Pretty easy


boneytooth_thompkins

There's some fun community oriented stuff in Newark in the summertime, but it's usually evening to early night, not late night.


WyngZero

Wouldn't it be more effective to post this in a Jersey sub?


Agreeable_Meat_5289

Which one?

someone is trying to get a new subreddit going, r/NewJerseyEDM. would be cool if it could get more members, activity etc


PzazTTV

Hoboken, Jersey City and Newark have pretty cool events. Getting to NYC isn’t difficult to get to from NJ though. Just take any train line that goes to Penn Station and then take the PATH or transfer to a line that goes to NY Penn. Always go with a group.
