Bossa Nova is New York's coziest house and techno hangout. The modest 140-capacity bar sits beneath the rumbling subway overpass in Bushwick, Brooklyn's hippest neighborhood. Depending on the night, you're likely to hear industrial techno, live hardware sets or jacking house, usually served up by local artists. For those in search of a Monday night dance party, this is one of the only spots you're likely to find in this part of the borough.

Related means rooms this room's regulars also keep coming back to — not rooms that feel alike. A regular is somebody billed here on three nights or more.
