Only thing in New York that is changing faster than the subway network is the nightlife scene. Bars in NY change their hot spots so fast you will have problems with keeping up even if you live there. The hottest place this week would be one that just got opened and it could get closed as soon so the best way to know when and where to go is to ask some of the local people with reasonably good taste. They should know where to tell you to go so you can take directions and find some of the current hip places. Also, “New York on Tap” has a regularly updated bar map that you should check out before going to town. Also, taking a copy of “Time Out New York” could help you finding out what is the right den for your needs.
If you are there for just several days then the best way to go would beGreenwich Village that is somewhat of a Latin Quarter in New York. There you will see a wide variety of people from students to locals who hang out in a big range of pubs and bars that offer fine drinks and nice atmosphere. If you are looking for some gay fun you can find them in Chelsea as the gay scene is pretty strong there. Meatpacking District is the place to go if you are looking for a trendy club or a bar to hang out in and here you will also find some quality restaurants. In the Lower East Side you will also find lots of trendy bars that should suit your needs if you are looking for something classier. In the East Village you will find a lot of Japanese bars and those are great fun if you are in the mood for something unusual.
Alphabet City is packed with brunch places so you would want to check them out during the mornings and middays. Williamsburg in Brooklyn is the place for hipsters so you know what you will find there. Woodside in Queens offers some amazing happy hours so you might want to check it out before you go out to some actual club. It is usual for bars to close after 4AM but it is not unusual to stay inside after lockdown and keep drinking. If you tip your waiter well you will probably get a free drink at one point.
