Pool Party Babylon

The door to the Thompson Hotel’s third-floor deck is tougher to crack than the New York Times crossword. But drop the wingding’s name at the door on a Tuesday and you can splash around at this pansexual soiree. DJ Miss Guy, a downtown nightlife fixture you might recognize from the band Toilet Bšys or the legendary ’90s Squeezebox party at Don Hill’s, spins a soundtrack of Motown, girl groups, rock and disco. Dive into $10 Alchemia infused-vodka drink specials and get friendly with your host—and Lady Gaga’s bosom buddy—Darian Darling.
