I'm in Jersey City, and I sure do love my city.
ever since they developed downtown Newport, there's always something to do, and if I still can't find something I can just shoot over to NYC, take about 10 minutes to get over there from where I live.
the only real gripes I have with NJ nightlife is that the clubs/lounges/bars close too damn early, at latest is 3am. me and my boys don't leave the house on a party night until around 11-11:30
NYC has them all night parties that last til like 8am and shyt
I used to live in Miami, and altho it's a great city for nightlife, food, etc...
It's not my ideal environment to live in (maybe if I was filthy rich it'd be different but I'm not so fukkit)
It's an ideal vacation spot however, I used hit south beach and hate worrying about "I gotta go to work tomorrow I can't chill and drink like I normally do"
