Black Oak Nights – New York

Honey NYC

Friday is among us, and that can only mean one thing: IT’S PAYDAY! At least for most of you it is. Those of you who get paid on the semi-monthly basis probably already have your money in the bank. Those of you who don’t have the luck of collecting your servant money this week—well, there’s always next Friday! However, to help everyone involved save a little cash during the recession and beat the summer heat, we have a couple of air-conditioned and free-admission events you can take advantage of this Friday night. So leave your money in the bank tonight, because Black Oak Nights is taking care of the bill. Here is your Friday Nightlife Rundown for July 30, 2010.

Yet another break in the weather ought to make your trip to and fro work just a little bit better this Wednesday. It also means that when you come out of club, tired and sweaty from an evening of dancing, it will be just a little bit cooler than it has been over the last several nights of this heat wave. Anyway, enough chatter about the weather; let’s get down to business. Here is your Wednesday Nightlife Rundown for July 28, 2010.

230 Fifth Rooftop Bar

Did we actually get a little reprieve in the weather yesterday? We must have, because for the first time in weeks, I woke up and my living room wasn’t 80 degrees at 7 o’clock in the morning. I don’t know if we’ll be that lucky today, but if we aren’t, we have plenty of indoor activities for the young, black professional to take advantage of today. From comedy shows to Caribbean and hip-hop parties, we have you covered on the Tuesday Black Oak Nights Rundown for July 27, 2010.

Malatesta Trattoria

Here’s to a little bit of a let down from this heat wave that we have been experiencing over the past couple of weeks. Monday is supposed to be a lot more eventful and a little less hot. That of course means you can consume a little more alcohol outdoors than you could have when it was 100 degrees in this concrete jungle. As for how to put your outdoor drinking to use indoors, here is the Monday Nightlife Rundown for July 26, 2010.

Alvin Ailey Dance Theater

On a beautiful Saturday like today, you definitely need to get your butt outside and enjoy the city that is New York!

Either way, we’re helping you beat the heat and enjoy these few months of the year that we call summer in NY. Here is the Black Oak Nights Saturday Nightlife Rundown for July 24, 2010.

Friday is finally here, and you know what? It didn’t take long for it to arrive! Maybe it’s just because we’ve been so busy taking advantage of Restaurant Week, open bars and chilling on the Long Island City “coastline” that the week just flew by us! Anyway, in case your week wasn’t as eventful as it should have been, let’s try to get you on the right track for the weekend with a couple of events more than worth your while. Here is the Friday Nightlife Rundown for July 23, 2010.

I am not even going to sugarcoat it: It has been hella hot in New York City over the past few days, if not the past few months! Black Oak Nights will help you beat the heat with several indoor activities that we promise are well air-conditioned. For those of you that actually want to challenge Mother Nature and your body’s propensity for bearable temperatures, I do have an outdoor activity for you as well. So let’s get to it, because you are probably melting as you read this post on our new mobile-enhanced website! Here is your Thursday Nightlife Rundown for July 22, 2010.
