00:00Look at that view.
00:01Rooftop parties are a staple of New York.
00:03But a lot of the time, you gotta have a lot of money
00:05to throw one.
00:06And I'm going to show you today how you don't need that much
00:08money to throw a dope rooftop party.
00:09Because I'm going to throw one right now, on a budget.
00:12Hey, guys, this is Awkwafina.
00:13Welcome to New York.
00:14This is Ballin' on a Budget.
00:17The crowds, the costs, and the dress code rules
00:19are some of the swanky NYC rooftops
00:21are reason enough to keep me away.
00:25Space and NYC is a common discussion.
00:27And in New York, sometimes the only way
00:29to get that is to grow up.
00:30I'll show you how to throw a bash that won't
00:32leave you lonely at the top.
00:34Keep it cheap with my legendary jungle juice recipe.
00:37I've been cleaned in a while.
00:38You need one giant tub and every half-drunk bottle
00:42of booze in your kitchen that you can find.
00:49It's pretty good.
00:50It's a little salty.
00:51I don't know how that happened.
00:56Save on invites by making your own party
00:59announcements.
00:59Hello, I'm New York.
01:00I'm having a party in my house.
01:02I have my Wi-Fi's down.
01:03OK, bye.
01:04Hello, hello.
01:13Create a VIP section to incite class warfare.
01:16Nothing brings dollars out faster than velvet ropes.
01:22Y'all stay open as this is VIP only.
01:29Why pay a bouncer, bartender,
01:31and DJ when you can be all three with a little multitaskin'?
01:36It's a one drink per purse deal.
01:40I don't give out drinks like Mother Teresa.
01:42You guys got cups?
01:43We're going to get the full hand in there.
01:47Oh, that's freezing.
01:50We'll pour it in.
01:51I'll just pour it right back in.
01:52Do you want the lemon with it?
01:54VIP only!
01:57Are you guys on the last?
01:58I will make an exception.
02:00Do you guys have money?
02:03You're starting to give me a dollar?
02:05Two.
02:07I got to take it.
02:08See, you guys thought the party was over.
02:11Check it out.
02:14Hey!
02:16So who's the most reggaeton?
02:18Oh wow, everyone.
02:21Throwing a party is serious work,
02:23so don't forget to have a good time while you're at it.
02:27Multi-tasking a rooftop party is actually pretty easy.
02:30And if you play your cards right, you can make some money.
02:33I made $12.
02:35That's a lot of money.
02:36Now to the after party.
02:37Where are we going?
02:40What's up?
02:41It's Awkwafina, rapper and comedian from Queens, New York.
02:44The only thing I like more than a New York slice is saving money.
02:47I'm going to take you across the city to ball on a budget.
