New York is just as happening at night as during the day, if not more so. All the five boroughs get all glammed up to welcome the New York nightlife seekers for an unforgettable nightlife experience. A wave of zest sweeps through the city as night falls on it; entertainment never ends in this city that never sleeps. Clubbing and partying may dominate the nightlife scene of New York, but that is not all.
From hip underground bars, swanky pubs, and jazz clubs to late-night theatres, sports, live comedy and music venues, you have a great variety of nightlife places in New York to pick for your nocturnal adventure. Here’s what you can do after hours in NYC.
Sneak into a Speakeasy:
Thousands of speakeasies sprung in New York during the Prohibition, and even after nearly 9 decades of its repeal, the speakeasy-inspired bars with secret entrances are still a thing. Be it PDT (Please Don’t Tell) which requires you to enter through a telephone booth or The Back Room that serves cocktails in cups and wraps beer bottles in paper bags, these watering holes introduce you to the underground culture of the Roaring Twenties and offer a unique experience of New York nightlife.
Go bowling at Brooklyn Bowl:
Bowling alley, live music, great drinks, and good food – Brooklyn Bowl situated in Williamsburg has them all. One of the popular New York nightlife hotspots, you’ll see all kinds of people here, from the players immersed in knocking down the pins to those cutting a rug on the floor right next to these bowling lanes, from the audience enjoying musical acts to those filling their stomachs with good food and draught beer brewed within Brooklyn. So, go blend in the crowd and have fun after the sun goes down.
Watch a Broadway Show:
New York nightlife largely means late-night plays and musicals on Broadway for all theatre lovers. The Theatre District lined with 40 Broadway theatres is the go-to destination to dedicate your whole night to binge-watching theatrical performances. Since the tickets for the most successful shows like The Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Les Misérables, Lion King, etc., sell like hotcakes, you need to get them early. Book your show tickets in advance and never miss the remarkable Broadway performances. At the same time, book your flight tickets in advance so as not to miss out on the cheapest deals to New York.
Late night movie at Film Forum:
The only autonomous nonprofit cinema in New York, Film Forum is a haven for real movie buffs (who look beyond mainstream movies screened at multiplexes). This four-screen Manhattan movie house entertains its patrons 365 days a year with thoughtfully curated programs ranging from American independents and foreign art house films to repertory selections, including American and foreign classics, documentaries, directors’ retrospectives, and festivals. Celebrate your love for movies with fellow cinephiles at this legendary cinema that’s been running since 1970.
