While “Love Island USA” season seven may have wrapped, the villa drama returns for one night only on Aug. 25 at 9 p.m. on Peacock. The show is known for its romance, dramatic recouplings and the chance for viewers to pick the winner.
This year’s reunion carries extra weight, with fan-favorite and Brooklyn native Amaya Espinal — better known to viewers as “Amaya Papaya” — taking home the crown. Brooklyn spots from Bay Ridge to Bushwick are transforming into mini villas for a night of drinks and TV chaos.
Here’s where to catch the drama:
This lively Mexican cantina will host a reunion watch party from 7 to 11 p.m. Admission is free for guests 21 and older. Attendees can enjoy themed cocktails and $5 house margaritas all night. Seating is first-come, first-served, so arrive early to secure the best spot for every “Love Island” moment.
Bay Ridge’s beloved taco joint is hosting its own reunion fiesta, fresh off welcoming Espinal earlier this month. The watch party is walk-in only, with tacos, margaritas and plenty of high-energy fun for guests.
