girlFx is a collective of women and non-binary individuals who stand for ownership and representation in the nightlife community. They host a resident party at Hot Mass every 5th Saturday, Ace Hotel’s monthly "In The Weeds," and "Tea Time," a sober after-hours event during the cold months at Dobra Tea.
