Summer vibes will be in full effect this Sunday as queer party starters Snap! Shanghai are joining forces with F&B-centric events agency Social Supply for a summer rooftop bash at the home of the most celebrated NYC immersive theatre production, Sleep No More.
Snap! Shanghai was founded by four friends united in a shared vision of providing a open and fun space for diverse communities to express and celebrate themselves freely. They run events such as the bi-monthly Snap! parties, Thursday Thirstation social hours, and other celebrated events for the LGBTQ community. They will be turning the rooftop of McKinnon Hotel, Cosmos into the ultimate tropical paradise. Yes, we're talking pineapples, flamingos, oversized pool floats, colourful beach umbrellas, jungalow ferns and palm leaves right in the middle of downtown Shanghai.
The success of Social Supply's killer food and drink festival FEAST in April tells us that our stomach's are in good hands. Prepare to stuff yourselves as we've heard the likes of Bumbu, Beef & Liberty, Missy's and Petit Pree serving up meaty spreads and refreshing fruity popsicles. Booze it up with the wide selection of summer cocktails, tiki specialties, beers and wines prepared by bartenders of Tippler. The two massive bars also offer healthy juices if you're not in the mood for alcohol.
