I look like a complete youngun, so I discovered very early on that going out freely in New York was going to be a problem. While I felt that I’d taken advantage of the constant activity of the city for the most part, I still felt limited in one aspect: the nightlife.ĭuring my gap year abroad, I had the freedom to hang out in all the bars and clubs my heart desired. I managed to check all these off, and they were nothing short of incredible. I created a bucket list for myself: the MOMA, Upright Citizens Brigade, Sugar Factory, Radio City, Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum, Student Rush Broadway shows and more. “Immediately after settling down in the Midtown dorms, I set out to explore what incredible adventures the City That Never Sleeps had to offer me.
It’s especially for my fellow youngsters in the Under 21 Club – nightlife in NYC is a tough one for you guys – but you can figure it out. I wrote about the bar for my college newspaper way back when, but it’s never too late check it out. I know you peasants are always on the prowl for awesome NYC venues, so I decided to throw it back to a night I spent at the Fat Cat Jazz Bar, a cozy game-room bar downtown.
