Nachtleben in New York
New York ist berühmt für seine Jazz-Clubs, darunter natürlich das Blue Note im Greenwich Village. Im Meatpacking District reihen sich schicke Bars und Clubs wie Cielo aneinander. Das abwechslungsreiche Unterhaltungsangebot im East Village schließt peppige Dichtkunst im Nuyorican Poet's Cafe ein. Aber vergessen Sie die Außenbezirke nicht, so wartet Brooklyn zum Beispiel mit Orchestern und Opern in der Brooklyn Academy of Music auf. Bars und Clubs haben bis in die frühen Morgenstunden geöffnet - und dem Barkeeper sollten Sie immer ein Trinkgeld geben.

1. McSorley’s Old Ale House -
Mehr anzeigenMcSorley’s Old Ale House is over 140 years old and—and while Pete’s is the oldest tavern in New York, McSorley’s claims to be the oldest “saloon.” If there is indeed a difference, it probably doesn’t matter. McSorley’s is still thick with the feel of yesteryear. The eight-ounce mugs of either light or dark ale are charming, even if they are mostly foam. These days the saloon is usually packed with dudes in ball caps, so if you want a more low-key experience, aim for a weekday afternoon beer break.

3. Barramundi -
Mehr anzeigenThis fun, funky lounge has a friendly staff, daily 6-9pm happy hours, and a settled-in feel for a neighborhood overrun by hipster copycats. Come on a weeknight to snare a table in the little corner of heaven out back. A fireplace makes Barramundi almost as appealing on chilly nights.

4. Employees Only -
Mehr anzeigenLook for the glowing red PSYCHIC sign. Employees Only goes to great lengths to re-create a 1920s speak-easy, complete with tin ceiling and bartenders in period costume. But who needs gimmicks when the cocktails are this good? Drinks are made with the freshest ingredients and top-label liquors, some of them with homemade herb infusions. There’s a full menu, but skip the entrees and order a few of the very good appetizers to accompany your drinks.

5. The Campbell Apartment -
Mehr anzeigenThis unique, swank lounge is hidden away on the southwest mezzanine level inside Grand Central Terminal. It was created out of the former office of 1920s mogul John W. Campbell, who transformed the space into a pre-Renaissance palace worthy of a Medici. The high-ceilinged room has been restored to its full Florentine glory, and serves wines and champagnes by the glass, single-malt scotches, and haute appetizers to a well-heeled commuting crowd. Call ahead before heading over, as the space is sometimes closed for private parties. No sportswear allowed.

9. Blue Note -
Mehr anzeigen
This Village classic once attracted some of the biggest names in jazz to its intimate setting: Dave Brubeck, Ray Charles, Manhattan Transfer, Dr. John, Chick Corea, David Sanborn, and others. But like a lot of NYC venues, the Blue Note now has slipped into a bit more routine programming and prices, with two shows nightly and up to $45 per ticket. The sound and sightlines are still good, but the charm is evaporating.
