Why do people throw parties? Attending someone else’s party is fun and carefree but throwing a party can be hell. This time of year is the best time to get people out of their winter hibernation modes for a real kick start to the season with a well planned gathering. Taking into account the world’s financial woes, you and your friends may want to consider a relaxed and cheap setting for your evening festivities.
You want to find a location that you can settle in for a while and really own, because you don’t want friends complaining about drink prices in the first hour. For those already creating a Facebook event page, take a look at these suggestions.

Fenders and license plates and graffiti litter the walls at this divey Bushwick watering hole. The average drink is 6 dollars along with great beer and shot specials. Plug in your iPod for a personalized touch before the DJ sets up and spins for the crowd that continuously grows until 2 am.
The Wreck Room is a laid back option for Brooklynites and inter-borough commuters.
