NEW YORK CITY – Review Part VI (Quiet Clubbing)
For the famously claimed “city that never sleeps”, the nightlife in New York was not very thrilling. I comprised a list of approximately fifteen bar options for our week long stay in Manhattan. The places were chosen based on the recommendations of NYmag.com, NYCgo.com, and Yelp. I even researched each establishment’s most crowd frequented nights and weekly themed events. From Monday to Thursday we were overpaying for boredom. Each night, my friend and I went out in search for unforgettable parties and wild characters, only to be let down by a lack of excitement. We couldn’t afford enough costly cocktails to become “happy drunks” either.
On any given night in Toronto, there are always fun parties to attend. Of course, weekends are undoubtedly the most rowdy, but most clubs typically have at least one popular week day. Perhaps I had selected places in the wrong districts, at all the worst days and times (Is 12am or 1am really that late?). But from Midtown to Union Square and China Town, four out of six nights were frustratingly dull.
