You can hire lofts, lounges, studios, art galleries, game houses, and party halls. For example, game-focused venues like Coexist GameHouse are great for entertainment, while lofts like Sunset Social House offer more open space for dancing or DJ setups. Brooklyn and Garment Districts have many creative, private venues like the immersive event space at Shift Midtown for larger groups and themed parties.

This depends on your guest list and activity plans. A party of 30–50 people usually fits comfortably in venues with a standing capacity of 70–100. If you’re hiring a DJ, setting up food tables, or planning games, allow extra space for movement. Large venues like Rodney’s in the Upper East Side or Eris in Williamsburg can hold up to 300 guests if you're going big.

Popular options include hiring a DJ or dance instructor, photo booths, karaoke setups, or gaming stations. Some venues already cater to entertainment. ARKADE NYC, for instance, has built-in game elements. For creative types, art-themed venues in Queens like Cozy Art Land work well for painting parties or DIY crafts.

Saturday afternoons are most in demand, so book early. Sundays or Friday evenings may be easier to secure at a better price. If you're flexible, weekday bookings are often discounted and give you more venue options.
