Dear MurphGuide readers:
Since 1997, MurphGuide has been “connecting the fun to the fun people” by recommending fun nightlife events and venues in NYC. The current coronavirus (COVID 19) pandemic has lead health professionals to recommend certain lifestyle changes, including avoiding large public gatherings. As a result, all venues are closed and all public events are canceled or postponed. Please be safe and take the necessary precautions to minimize exposure or transmission of this virus. Do your part to flatten the curve. We are all in this together.
Update:
As of March 16, 2020, all events & gatherings in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut are canceled until further notice.
