From ringing NYSE's closing bell to a midnight DJ set in a Brooklyn warehouse, my day with HBO's 'Industry' cast

• HBO's 'Industry' brought the party from the NYSE trading floor to a private screening in Brooklyn.
• The after party featured caviar bumps, SternTao merch, and a DJ set from Charli XCX's pal, The Dare.
• Actors, influencers, and New York's young literati drank and danced together. The vibes were immaculate.
