Hi,
Was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for where a good night out would be in New York? Me and my group of friends are going there for five nights from the 19th this month and we are all 21 so no problems with getting in (I hope! lol).
Iv heard some places, just like anywhere, can be very expensive for drinks in New York, and as we are students would look for something like The Garage and such from Glasgow, some where with good music, good atmosphere and reasonable prices!
Thanks for any input,
Graham

But have fun it is a wonderful place
I'm looking around for some info for you. First, check out these sites...

Drink prices are so expensive in NY,ESP when you take all the tipping into account. As another poster said,we usually take in a few shows(for cheap tickets try TKTS on Times square or the TKTS on Southstreet seaport which has shorter queues), or take in some comedy clubs. If you're lucky,you may get some celebs turn up(Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey have been known to turn up sometimes).
Hope this helps.
for manhattan, try some of the bars on the lower east side around delancy, ludlow and essex. they're about as cheap as you get in manhattan and the people are generally friendly. a lot of bars have 4am closing times, which combined with a 24hr subway service, makes a night out a pretty awesome thing
We will defo need to look into the other suggestions too. We just need to remember it's a different culture almost in new York! To be honest were only there for 5 days so not going to waste it with hangovers!! Haha. But we would like to go out for a drink one or two nights.
Thanks for everyones input!! Should have done this when I had more time to actually look into it!!! But left everything to the last minute again! Lol
If you all like sports I can recommend going into the ESPN zone in the bar area downstairs (or upstairs if you want to splash out).
Shoud you want somewhere good to eat one night, there is a restaurant called Virgils BBQ down a side street just before you get to Toys R Us (if you are walking from Madison Square Garden into Times Square, otherwise it's the side street just after it)

There is a nice little cocktail bar at the side of the Hotel Pennsylvania opposite Madison Square Gardens too.
Have an awesome time!!
Ask the locals as well, I am sure they will have suggestions for a good night out! If you go shopping in Soho as some of the shop assistants, they will probably offer some good advice on where to go!!
Have a great time NY is fabulous!! Try and go Ice Skating in Central Park or the Rockafella centre!! Good fun!!
ETA: Btw IIRC The bar is in Greenwich Village.... yes it is here is the website!
