K2 Friday Night

Cocktails, art, and music make a heady mix during K2 Friday Nights, where admission is free every Friday from 6:00 to 10:00 PM. Café Serai becomes the K2 Lounge, offering a special drink menu to accompany the evening’s DJ, Snkr Joe. Explore all the galleries, dive deeper with an exhibition tour at 7:15 PM, and kick off your weekend with the Rubin.

About the DJ

Snkr Joe is well known for his contributions as a pioneer in the online sneaker community and as a founder of one of the best all-vinyl, all-45 party Mobile Mondays. His passion for DJing dates back to 1992 when he studied the art of mixing records. What started out as a hobby is now a full-time profession as an open format DJ playing at New York City’s hottest speakeasies, hotels, lounges, restaurants, and bars, such as Nothing Really Matters, Not A Speakeasy, The UES (Ice Cream Shoppe Speakeasy), The Backroom, Mr. Purple (Indigo Hotel), Nina’s x Liquid Lab (Nomo Soho Hotel), and Buddha-Bar and Restaurant.

“Setting the vibe for a room that makes people smile, dance, and laugh is rewarding to me. All of these reactions tell me that I have done my job.”
