Toppings Lounge

Party like it's the 1990s at Toppings Lounge this Saturday at 10 p.m. King_3k, the event's organizer, encourages everyone to break out their 1990s gear, such as windbreakers, overalls and Reeboks, to look fly and ready to get "jiggy with it." If your outfit matches up with the best dressed of the beloved decade, you'll get in free all night as soon as the party starts. However, it isn't mandatory to dress up. So, let the evening of Cross Colours vibes and hip-hop take you to another place and time all the way until 3 in the morning.
