Syracuse Speak Easy runs a season of themed lifestyle parties in upstate New York, at an upscale Syracuse hotel it books for the night and does not name in public. Its own tagline for the season is "where fantasy meets velvet".

The calendar is short and deliberate rather than weekly: five nights between September and New Year's Eve, each with its own theme and its own artwork — a black-light school-girl party, a Halloween night held on Halloween itself, a country night built around a stud auction, a Christmas party, and a Casino Royale New Year's Eve that starts earlier and runs longer than the rest. Doors are late and the nights run to 4 AM.

Alongside tickets the brand sells an SSE Private Club Membership for what it calls premium access. The hotel's address reaches ticket holders rather than the open web.

Dates and tickets are on the brand's own site; browse our New York guide for the state's venues and other party brands.
