Dance Bitch is a Brooklynite who posts intel about her favorite parties—along with insider tips on things like how to find the secret warehouse location or get on the guestlist—for New York's underground dance community. Follow her on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook if you know what's good for you. This Halloween, she made a handy flowchart to help you decide which party is right for you. Check it out, along with more details about the events, below.

As per usual, there are too many Halloween events in New York City to choose from this year, which is why I'm here to help you make sense of it all. I've rounded up the best parties in the city, and put them together in one easy flowchart. This way, you can focus instead on putting together a creative and terrifying costume that lets everyone know you're a Halloween pro. Don't be a basic bitch this Halloween; leave that slutty cat look in 2015.

Sure, you could just hit up one of your regular haunts, but this Halloween I implore you to try something different. Whisk yourself away to a fresh new place, mix up the music with global beats, and immerse yourself in crowd of beautiful strangers. Warehouse parties with long DJ sets, big crowds, grandiose decor, and performances will give you the biggest bang for your buck. Find the real zombies (who have been partying for days) at the Sunday morning afterhours.

My top picks for Halloween 2016 are JunXion Crossroads, You Are So Lucky, and Gala of the Gone (full disclosure: Gala of the Gone is thrown by House of Yes, where I work as the social media manager). JunXion is the multi-cultural crew known for their "choose-your-own-adventure" parties; a ticket to their party on Friday night includes stops at multiple locations and transportation on one of their famous party buses. Saturday night, You Are So Lucky has transformed a seventy-two room gothic mansion into a labyrinth of art, hidden bars, interactive experiences, and spontaneous performances. Leave some energy in your tank for the Gala of the Gone on Monday night at House of Yes, where seances, altars, libations, fruit offerings, tarot readings, and house music will help you commune with spirits of the past. It will be a fitting end to a dizzying weekend of extravagant parties, bad political costumes, and too many lines (all kinds).
