You didn't plan on sleeping this weekend, did you? One of the best things about EDC NY is that you can follow up a night of raving with a morning of clubbing. If that sounds like your thing, plan on hauling your bootie from New Jersey to New York City, because we all know after the party is the after-party and that's where a fun night turns into a morning you'll never forget. To those missing out on the EDC excitement — don't fret. Consider this your invitation to these all-night affairs.
