Earthly Delights

5738 Myrtle Avenue, Ridgewood, Queens

Open Thursday-Sunday

The thing I love most about NYC is that new nightclubs pop up periodically. As we roll into the halfway point of this 2020s decade, the clubs that spring up around the city are increasingly dialed in. After opening in August 2024, Earthly Delights on Myrtle Ave in Ridgewood is hard to deny.

Every time I have gone to Earthly Delights with my favorite local audiophile cutie, we both leave saying how much we appreciate the intimate crowd of humans who are there to dance and clap it out for the DJs authentically. Eli Escobar, Falty DL, Life on Planets, and Takuya Nakumura have all performed here, alongside a rotating list of local and international producers & DJs. 

Owned and operated by nightlife industry veterans, the venue’s locus is the colloquially dubbed “Womb Room,” the upstairs dance floor designed by NY-based artist Breakfast Garbowski. Tastefully strobing LED track lighting traverses the curved ceiling and walls that frame the DJ booth. A TPI soundsystem surrounds from four corners creating a fully encompassing dance floor experience. Each time I’m there, I can’t help but feel like Geppetto’s cat, Figaro, after they are swallowed up by Monstro.

If you are like me and enjoy going out to listen intently to the music, and dance without reservation in an underground club environment, then Earthly Delights, a sound and sensation escape, is for you.
