The first Monday in May has officially become New York’s busiest party night. Events cropped up all over the city, including one hosted by Instagram. Here’s a roundup of some of the night’s most notable soirées.

This year, The Standard’s long-running after party teamed up with Cardi B and Playboy. Now in its 12th year, the event — held in the hotel’s iconic Boom Boom Room — featured music by Kitty Ca$h and DJ SpinKing, and a slew of dancers wearing vintage Playboy Bunny suits.
