New Yorkers....

[Klyk21]

So so...the city never sleeps, tho? Like for example, I'm in atlanta right now. All the MTA is down at the moment. I think it closes at 2am (rail system....bus a bit earlier I believe) and the only thing open are a few clubs, krystals, wal-mart, kroger, gas stations but everything is pretty much winding the fukk down. Now, in NY right now @ 2:30 am? Is the city still moving?!? Are people flooding back home?! Are the street vendors still cooking overnight?!? I'm really curious b/c I'm sick of hearing about the shyt, I want someone in NY right now to come in here and tell me what the fukk is going on

At the end of the day most people are sleep. You got companies that are 24/7 so people are always working somewhere.

The whole "NYC never sleeps" is a bit of an exaggeration. After 2AM or so you will still find people outside down near times square loitering for small comedy acts in apartments some comedians got together and put on a show.

Other than that? You have diners, a couple of locations such as Hard Rock Cafe still open, Apple Store on 5th avenue still open, and a couple of spots here and there and clubs of course. This is all mostly in midtown manhattan. Anywhere below...like Chelsea you will find McDonald's, couple of big pharmacies still open and thats about it. Uptown Manhattan has smoke shops open 24 hours and a couple of grocery stores.

The other boroughs pretty much shut down completely outside of a nearby smoke shop, convenience stores, or clubs. You might find a restaurant open really late, but doubtful the further away from manhattan you are. Your best bet at this time would be a McDonald's or something to grab something to eat.

The whole "City Never Sleeps" thing is basically from about 33rd street and 8th avenue up to about 59th street and 5th avenue. You can always stop by Central Park and will find a group down there...or maybe even catch a horse n carriage ride if you are into that with a couple of hot dog vendors/gyro vendors still out. Your best bets for nightlife in NYC is Manhattan or Brooklyn. The Bronx and Queens shut down....I honestly cannot even comment on Staten Island because I have not been there in years.

You got train service spread throughout, but nothing really popping off in the outer boroughs as I said before. I think the A train which services most of manhattan runs local at night.

This.

Basically there are just about the same amount of things to do just like where you're from, it's just that our mass transit doesn't "shut down" so you can pretty much get to all parts of the city at a normal/efficient pace (at these hours there is probably an additional wait time of 15 minutes for trains in Manhatttan. Queens, The BX etc probably an hour).

Outside of finding something to eat/a bunch of clubs that come to an end at about 4/5 a.m, there aren't too many things to do besides chill with your friends and/or loiter.

With the fact that this happens 7 days a week and peaks on Fridays and Saturdays it creates the illusion that the city "never sleeps" which, when you compare that to other parts of the country, is pretty impressive.

Ihop and Amy Ruths at 4 in the morning

 

[CashmereThoughts]

It's kinda true, clubs get out at 4 am.. By the time you get something to eat and get home it's morning time, businesses are opening back up.

This. And for everyone in this thread bringing up Queens and the Bronx, let's not forget that the outer boroughs simply don't matter.

The fukk yall dumbasses expect to be open 24/7

You have your fast good, diners etc open 24/7 but yall expect ecerything to be open at all times. Bars clubs usually close at 4 am and open back up in the morning. Fukk yall expect them to be open at 6am so you can pregame before you head to work?

The trains run 24/7 and a few food spots are open but thats all thats really need. I mean what else are you trying to do at like 4-6am?

You'd be surprised how many people go to NYC and expect times square and the entire city to be lit up 24/7 even on Sundays

What can I say....your reputation precedes you. shyt goes both ways though. I know some people from up north that still expected lynchings when visiting the south. Now, these crackas may have dragged a nikka with their trucks and decapitated him and or ran another nikka over with their trucks but no lynchings......reported
