The city that never sleeps boasts more nightlife than most cities will ever dream of: topflight jazz, reggae, rock 'n' roll, salsa and blues clubs, friendly Irish pubs and neighborhood bars. All stay open and lively on weekends until 4 am, and until 1 or 2 am during the week. At that time of night, and probably even as you head out for an evening of fun, we recommend taking cabs rather than the subway. We also recommend you call ahead to check that venues are open and operating as usual.
