After Dark In The City That Never Sleeps
With its numerous converted powerplant/warehouse/church nightclubs, Berlin may beat NYC in the realm of the “underground” but NYC surely takes the cake above ground, or should I say, up high in the sky.
My cream of the crop in the Big Apple?
For best rooftop views and a reality check “Must-be-in-NYC” feeling:
Top of the Standard (
Boom Boom Room or
Le Bain),
230 Fifth, or
Ink48.
For Happy Hour:
Goldbar or
Rosaritos Fish Shack.
For Cocktails:
The Wayland or
Pouring Ribbons.
For beer: Radegast Hall & Biergarten or Blind Tiger.
For wine: City Winery.
For group parties:
Brooklyn Bowl.
For Dives:
Barcade,
Union Pool,
Lit Lounge or
the Levee.
For clubbing in class to hip hop and house:
Ace Hotel or
1OAK.
For old world elegance:
The Jane Hotel.
Winner: Tie. As I said, you can club the schnitzel out of Berlin, so it may beat NYC below ground level, but NYC surely takes dazzling skyline and clubbing in class to the next stratosphere.
