On Tuesday, June 27th, Nick Vogelson (Editor-in-Chief, Document Journal), Ana Kirova (CEO, Feeld), and Ludovic de Saint Sernin (CD, LdSS), along with co-host Mia Khalifa, welcomed friends and collaborators in celebration of Pride. Feeld, Document Journal, and Ludovic de Saint Sernin celebrated Pride with an intimate dinner and afterparty which featured DJs Uniiqu3, Katie Rex, Goth Jafar, and Alima Lee, and a surprise performance with Baby Love and DJ Volvox. The three hosting parties came together to celebrate their common values of curiosity, self-expression, and boundary-pushing. The celebration called attention to their shared mission of conversation-starting and diversity of thought, closing out Pride month on a positive note. 

The Terrace & Outdoor Gardens (dinner) and Paradise Club (party) hosted the event at The Times Square EDITION. Paradise Club is an inventive, chaotic, high-production spectacle perfectly suited for Times Square, featuring a bustling, colorful dance floor and signature parties every Friday and Saturday with world-class DJs and performances.
