Nightlife in New York

The nightlife in New York is very fast-paced. One day New York nightclubs can be extremely hip, the next they are a tourist spot. New Yorkers love the NYC nightlife and every night there is something to do. For many, going out is part of their lifestyle. Going out in New York varies from dance clubs and rooftop bars to opera or concerts and everything in between! Below you’ll find my favourite places.

NYC Nightlife

Clubs only start to get busy at around 11:30 PM which is why you might have to queue to get in. If you want to get into a trendy nightclub, make sure you dress the part. You will not be allowed in if you’re not dressed up. Always carry your passport with you when you go out otherwise you will not be allowed entry. This applies to all ages (even if you are 40 + and think it won’t be necessary).

Clubs and Bars in New York

If you want to enjoy an unparalleled view of Manhattan with a drink in hand, dance all night, or just want a fun night out; all of this is possible in the clubs and bars in New York. You could for example visit one of the oldest bars in the city or go to a comedy club. It is always fun to meet new people and have a nice evening out.
