New York - Party Climate and Overall Impressions

New York - Party Climate

Known around the world as the city that never sleeps, New York hums with boundless energy morning, noon, and night as its more than eight million residents revel in some of the best round-the-clock action on the planet.

During the day, this international metropolis’s reputation as a center of business, art, and culture is on full display as professionals rush through the packed streets and subways between the world-renowned landmarks, iconic plazas, breathtaking parks, and top-of-the-line shopping that mark nearly every corner.

At night, however, the city buzzes with an endless array of options as droves of partiers head out to dance all night in the hottest high-end New York bars and clubs and lounges, rock out in the coolest live music venues, drink in the down-and-dirty dives, pubs, and sports bars, and flirt at every venue in between... read more

So whether it’s staying out till 4am, socializing with friends after work, seeing a hot concert, or just soaking up the city’s daily surprises, NYC provides an unlimited, albeit expensive, number of things to do for any day, any time, and any type.

And while the city is certainly attractive for its romantic grandeur and cultural extremes, what makes the Big Apple a true standout in the list of the world’s great cities is the flow of life that keeps its streets continuously humming with activity.

With the unending availability of the best of the best in restaurants, nightlife, music, and culture, as well as the easy transportation to access those things, spontaneous partying is practically inevitable, a fact that New York’s vibrant population takes full advantage of.

And if the sights, sounds, events, festivals, and parties aren’t enough, there’s always just the city itself, an intense and exciting hustle and bustle of diversity that makes it easy to spend an entire day simply walking the streets and becoming part of New York’s unique energy.

Overall Impressions
	See all Lucas recommendations in New York Lucas “All you need to know about New York is that it’s a high-octane, never-ending party where almost anything goes day or night. People here work hard, so they’re constantly searching for ways to cut loose, something the city provides in spades. During the week, I-bankers looking to drink off a rough day in the markets flock to old-school restaurants and bars with loud Happy Hours and solid cocktails in the Financial District, while weekends sees workaholics playing in basketball and hockey leagues at Chelsea Piers or cramming into countless sports bars to catch a Yanks or Giants game. But whatever you do before the night starts, get ready, because come eleven o’clock, the masses descend on the city’s hundreds of bars to simply get ripped, dance like crazy, hook up, and forget about their jobs. The barhopping options are unlimited in Murray Hill, around NYU, and in the East Village, where there are tons of spots on every block. And the best part is that around 4am, when everything shuts down, all you have to do is stumble onto the subway or into a cab to get home. Don’t worry, though, you won’t be taking that walk of shame alone.” See all Adriana recommendations in New York Adriana “Simply put, New York is one of the chicest playgrounds on the planet, a place where having money or fame means getting access to the best of absolutely everything, from red-hot nightlife to couture fashion. While the shopping on Fifth Avenue and in SoHo is fantastic for finding all the Vogue-worthy trends hot off the runways of New York’s fashion weeks, what’s even better is slipping into that new Diane Von Furstenberg and heading to the Meatpacking District, Nolita, or Chelsea to party at exclusive clubs with the crème de la crème. Once there, you’ll be sipping Patron with A-listers and supermodels, or poking holes with your stilettos in the leather booths while Amex-flashing Wall Street boys buy more bottles. And if you don’t want the party to end, it’s easy to find hot weekend brunch scenes where you can pop bottles of Dom and dance with the other fashionable daytime partiers. Of course New York’s social scene is excessive, but if you’re going to be spending money, you may as well be getting the best there is.” See all Jonah recommendations in New York Jonah “It’s not surprising that the city that gave us Woody Allen, J.D. Salinger, Lichtenstein, and Gershwin remains a trendsetting world leader in culture, art, and music. Nowadays, the cutting-edge sounds booming out of DIY joints in Brooklyn and the great live music haunts of the Lower East Side have also established New York as a leader in the indie music scene. The city’s authenticity shines in its nightspots, too, where you can get everything from Prohibition-era drinks in divey watering holes in Greenwich Village to deep, rich ales from brew masters in www.partyearth.com/new-york/brooklyn-5/-williamsburg. The city is steeped in culture, making it easy on any given day to run across a film crew shooting the next cult classic or to stroll into a gallery full of mind-bending art. But the best way to truly experience New York is to just grab an Americano at a sidewalk café and watch as the droves of hurried New Yorkers stream by, off to set the world on fire.” See all Emma recommendations in New York Emma “Although New York can be a little overwhelming to the senses – and especially to the wallet – it’s still one of the most global and awe-inspiring places you’ll ever encounter. In Midtown, the neon lights are bright on Broadway, where there’s always a play or musical worth seeing, while uptown’s Rockefeller Center and Central Park are seasonal treasures for ice skating or sunbathing. On top of that, there always seems to be a festival, parade, or market going on in one neighborhood or another, which are great ways to experience and celebrate the city’s cultural diversity. At night, the city is alive with all sorts of ethnic drinking scenes, from Japanese sake joints and wild Cuban salsa spots to gypsy dancing dens – it’s almost like visiting a different country every night of the week! Granted, New York is an expensive place, but with the subway there to whisk you around, you can stamp your passport with every neighborhood without breaking the bank.”
