The NH Concierge’s Tips

A night of shows in NYC

If you feel like going to a good play or a musical in NYC, the place to go in the city is Broadway and Times Square. The so-called Broadway Circuit hosts a total of 40 theaters. Two of them are located along one of the most famous avenues in Manhattan, while the rest are in nearby streets. There are also Off-Broadway and Off-Off-Broadway circuits, with less prestige but with equally interesting shows.

The Bars and clubs of New York

There’s a new fashionable area in the city that specializes in a broad and varied selection of restaurants, bars and clubs with different environments. We’re talking about the Meatpacking district, an area where the best rooftops of the city are located, and where you can combine quiet evenings with unrivalled views in New York. To get your bearings, this district is located between 14th Street and the Hudson River. If you want to visit one of the most exclusive clubs in the city, don’t forget about the dress code. Only then will you be allowed into clubs such as The Press Lounge, Le Bain or Mr. Purple.

Jazz the night away in Manhattan

You most definitely will have heard that the neighborhood by excellence for jazz clubs in New York is Harlem. Although not wrong, currently the most exclusive scene for this style of music has moved to the West Village area. Some of the most emblematic clubs are the Blue Note, the Birdland or the Smalls Jazz Club can be found here. Sip a drink while you enjoy live jazz concerts or eat something in their restaurants, experiencing a unique night in New York.

The secret bars of NYC: the speakeasies

Create your own route around the speakeasies of New York and discover the authentic essence of the 1920s in the most authentic bars of the Prohibition era. This law prohibited the consumption and sale of alcohol, and these establishments managed to bypass the law and go unnoticed disguised as other types of places, such as barber shops or hot dog stores. Even today it’s hard to find the most authentic ones, which have become exclusive cocktail bars. These include the Bathtub Gin (specialists in gin with burlesque shows), or Apothéke (located in Chinatown, a drugstore-like restaurant where you can enjoy cocktails and jazz). 

This is just a sample of everything you can do on a route through New York at Night. Let yourself be guided by your senses and experience the best night the big city has to offer.
