Overview
No-Fly is a Lower Manhattan studio, community space, and art-rave venue in Current Affairs. From the street it looks narrow, but inside it contains a two-story machine-shop space with unsafe paths, a DJ deck, beer buckets, exhibitions, VR equipment, and the social world around Rebecca Sedki and Imogene Schmidt.
No-Fly is where Calvin Munn first enters Rebecca’s friend scene. It remains associated with drugs, dancing, sexual ambiguity, and the gradual transformation of the old group.
History
Calvin comes to No-Fly after receiving a mystery invitation and finds Imogene controlling the door. Rebecca is there with her, and Calvin’s relationship with Rebecca begins in the venue’s upstairs space.
No-Fly later reopens after structural problems and renovation. Rebecca and Misha Novak dance intimately there, Calvin and Rebecca use it as a weekend party base, and the venue becomes a symbol of the old scene. By the time Walter Yeo buys No-Fly, Clint Prescott and Misha treat the purchase as evidence that big money has changed the vibe.
