Arrests Made at Two Sunset Park Raves Last Night
NYC Sheriff shared that they went to break up two raves last night. A rave is a huge dance party someplace – (like a warehouse) organized by a clever person who wants to make money. They charge a cover charge and less for alcohol OR no cover and the same price clubs charge for drinks.
The first was at the place pictured above at 51st Street in Sunset Park.
Raves in Brooklyn have always been popular for underage drinking, but because of Covid-19, people aren’t allowed to gather the same way they used to, so this is allowing them to get together because the pandemic is putting a damper on their social life.

Covid-19 rates were up this week in Sunset Park. But many people believe it’s not going to happen to them.

Wonder if the arrested were local people or hipsters who have decided Sunset Park is cool.
