New York City 

No Routine has been delivering a generous serving of play to the good people of NYC ever since they decided that adult life needs more of it.  Life’s too short to stick to the same old routine, so they’re shaking things up — providing a place to break free from the monotony of the adulting.  Find them turning parks into playgrounds across the city, playing dodgeball, kickball, and all sorts of nostalgic games, always surrounded by loads of people letting loose and having fun.

From slushy-serving bodegas, to parks ripe for play, these are the NYC spots that fuel their fun.

“Incredibly fresh dim sum, quick service, and open until 3am. What more can you ask for?”


“A downtown classic. The perfect place to pull up after a game, grab some greek style bar food, and a spicy watermelon margarita.”


“A park right by the water with a nice view, no matter what time it is. During the day you get a nice view of sailboats.”


“The place Dimes Square was initially named for, Dimes Deli is one of the best places to grab a quick, cheap, and healthy meal downtown. Try the Macro Bowl if you want to be a bit healthy and the Sumner Roll if you don’t.”


“Tom has been slinging fresh fruit juices out of his small East Village spot for a couple years now. The kiwi juice is a hit.”


“This is a park where we hosted BBQs and frisbee games. If you are ever in the Lower East Side and trying to get on a swing, this park has them.”

“This is a go-to downtown spot. It just looks like an ordinary bodega from the outside but inside they’re serving up fresh fruit slushies for amazing prices.”

“This park is the best for people watching when hanging out with friends.”
