Top 10 Nightlife in New York City, New York (NY)
Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 559 reviews
Authentic Experiences to the heart of New York City! Since 1997 we have been on the front lines of the underground New York City jazz scene - taking small groups down into intimate basement joints where live jazz still thrives in neighborhood nightclubs from Harlem to Greenwich Village. Legendary players and clubs as well. All live music and transportation costs are included in the public tour price. Our jazz tours take place in Manhattan for the most part, but private tours to Brooklyn, Queens or the Bronx can be arranged. Our goal is to offer the most intimate, small group tours available to Harlem and Greenwich Village neighborhood nightclubs and juke joints. We also provide insight into the Big Apple jazz scene as it has evolved over the past hundred years. Consider hiring Gordon Polatnick to take you on a private tour throughout the city during the day or night to experience the city's many intriguing neighborhoods at your pace and focusing on your interests. All ages welcome.

The menu had five items or so, written on a chalkboard. There are two beers available, light and dark. (Both are great, I prefer the dark one.) There was one waiter tending to all of the crude, old, wooden tables. (He was doing an incredible job too!) We loved the place! The walls are all covered with history. This is what we think of '20s speakeasy. Leave the kids at home and enjoy yourself here like they used to in the old days!

Just what I was looking for. Tremendous musicians playing great renditions of classic 70s pop songs in a cool jazz style. Dave called it “8track” music. Jared gold on Hammond B3 stoke the show for me laying down the bass on his pedals and sustaining the groove with the amazingly tight drummer.

This is a great jazz club - a national treasure - near the Theatre District in Manhatten, NYC. The space is great - probably not a bad seat in the house and the sound is fantastic. Definitely a great place to go for music aficionados.

Before coming to New York I did a search for locals, among those historians the Coffee Wha is undoubtedly what gave me more emotions and I still have to return before departure .. as one of my American friend says this place is my spa

Great lounge. Well crafted cocktails and great whiskey selection. Wide array of cigars including house brands. No walk in. Cigars are expensive but if you buy one you can smoke your own. Must visit for any cigar smoker.
10. Fanelli's Cafe

Reviewed By simbo2016 - Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom
This long established cafe/bar is ideal whether it be for a quick bite or a more leisurely lunch .It's also very handy if you just want to pop in for a quick drink with a well stocked bar whilst prowling around Soho. The staff are excellent and offer aware welcome before ensuring that you are seated and served as quickly as possible---it does get very busy ! The food choices are simple but offer excellent vale and quality--the chilli is consistently reliable.
