Nights in New York City can never be dead as the party goes on till the clock strikes 6 am. People visiting the city get to experience two different scenarios, the day when everything is running smoothly with people beaming with energy, and the other when the sun goes down, this is when you get to experience a different atmosphere and vibe. The city without its crowd and hustle offers a vibe that is bliss for anyone looking out for some restive energy. Walking through the shadowy lanes whose vibe flourishes with the darkness of the night, the clam and windy bridges, the flashy clubs, and the murmuring bars, projects the city’s own identity.
For those who are trying to bask in the shadows of the dusk, here is a list of what all they can do after their 9-5 regime.
Sway into a not so secretive loft:
Greenwich Village is a dreamy townhouse with an old-world charm that has artists performing arts. A venue named Secret Loft specializes in live music, comedy, and dance parties, circus, etc. This year’s upcoming events include an open mic, burlesque performance, comedy show, a debate watch party, and many other interesting and jovial things.
Line up your stuff:
To all the strangers who think they have got it all planned up and head out to spend a quiet night may soon find themselves ending up in the middle of a trivia display. New York City has different types of trivia nights throughout the city like Professor Thom’s in Manhattan, The Wolfhound in Queens, or The Bronx Beer Hall.
Bowl it Out:
New York offers several bowling alleys where you can just bowl them all down. But one particular place allows you to do that throughout the night. Whitestone Bowling Alley has its door opened round the clock, every day. This affordable entertainment den appears cased in amber during the 1960s but on the inside, it looks quite modern with a little vintage touch.
Bathhouse Dip:
Life’s little happiness lies in small pleasures, and a hot bath before dozing off to bed can never go wrong. The East Village offers the Russian and Turkish Baths that has a 46-degree dip. Visitors can avail of their services until 10pn of every night. For those who want slightly luxurious leisure can indulge in the water lounge at Great Jones Spa that comes equipped with a sauna, Jacuzzi, steam room, and also an icy plunge pool. There are tile baths at Mermaid Spa that is frozen with chopped ice.
Sharpen your spying skill:
Spying is most effective under the roof of darkness and one stepping out after dusk must learn all the ways of code-cracking, deception, spy supplies, surveillance, hacking, and also encryption that can all be done at the Spyscape museum.
Heaven for the Booklovers:
Even with all the online book stores trying its best to engulf the customers, NYC still has a fair and stable count of old and new book stores. For those trying to indulge in some good book with an ambiance that connects, head to McNally Jackson, Housing Works, Books Are Magic, Bluestockings, Astoria Bookshop, and Berl’s Brooklyn Poetry Shop.
Open Mic:
Once you are done with all the listening and scattering through the avenues, why not grace the stage with your charm and wit. Sign up for the open mic at Old Man Hustle on the Sunday nights, at Pete’s Candy Store on other evenings, and the Nuyorican Poets Café on Mondays.
On the Top:
Imagine getting a view from the sky-high level and what if it is from the middle of Gotham. A stunning view just below the twinkling lights, above the rivers, and the traffic on the crowdy avenues you get a perspective of the city’s true delight. Waiting in a queue at the Top of the Rock, One World Observatory, or the Empire State Building Observation Deck is worth every penny.
Dancing the night away:
Night Clubs in New York City can leave your soul craving for a very long time. Find a place that gets your feet and hip dancing with its steamy vibe. House of Yes is certainly one of them that would get you all high with its ambiance. For more budget-friendly places, consider spots like Beauty Bar and C’mon Everybody.
