At Lincoln Center's silent discos, guests can switch between three channels of dance music, including disco, salsa, Top 40, and swing, selected by three DJs on site.

The rest of the center’s silent discos will take place at Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden on Staten Island on August 28, the Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx on August 30, and Hunter’s Point Park South in Queens on September 3.

As part of the Lincoln Center Out of Doors festival, attendees viewed a silent screening of the cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show in Damrosch Park with the help of headphones.

“I had seen venues commission musicians to score music to silent movies but we wanted to do something different,” said Sternheimer about the Rocky Horror screening.

Crowds of 70 to 90 people gathered in Bryant Park to practice mindfulness as part of the Ziva Meditation series. Sessions included breath work, a short silent meditation, and guided visualization.

Ziva Meditation also offers a guided group meditation in Studio 34 at One Penn Plaza every Thursday at 1 p.m. until September 17.

Svedka has hosted events with giant lawn games. "Incorporating any nostalgic elements [into events] is to further grow brand loyalty and to establish Svedka as a lifestyle brand that is fun and cheeky," said the brand's PR rep Meryl Van Meter.

At the 2014 New York Auto Show, BMF Media Group built a custom arcade and brought in '90s rapper Biz Markie. "The auto show draws dealership owners and salespeople from all over then country, and this was a huge home run for them," said BMF co-founder Bruce Starr.

BMF also wrangled Flava Flav for a 2014 flavor launch party for beverage brand Bai. The musician posed with guests at a photo activation that, according to Starr, inspired plenty of social media traction.

Chicago company Groupon uses nostalgic games—such as Twister—to bond employees at its annual summertime outing.
