So before moving to Miami, I spent close to about 5 years living in NYC and I did not regret it. For your twenties, it is probably one of the best cities you can live in and it even outdid my experience as a fraternity guy at a southern school. Now this was all before NYC was hit by the pandemic which changed the city in a big way, not just economically but culturally. Despite all this, I one day dream of potentially going back to NYC before I get too old for it. Here are some of my observations.
The nightlife might unquestionably be amongst the best in the country.
Yes, the vaccine passes suck but even after that, I have to say that NYC's nightlife is the absolute best for pulling. I compare it to the nightlife in Miami which sucks a$$. In almost all major bars in Manhattan, you are going to find a lot of attractive women and they are DTF for the night. The logistics just line up to where if you live in Manhattan and go out for the night, you can find women who are DTF. I regularly pulled almost every week during 2019 by just living next to a good bar that got active on Thursdays. If you are trying to practice night game, alongside Vegas, NYC might be one of the best options. The other good part is that the nightlife is easily accessible and not closed off like it is in Miami.
I found this post below on Manhattan nightlife observations quite funny
It's like reliving college and extending the supposed good parts of those years for as long as you can.
NYC is Neverland in some ways. If you are in your 20s, you will run into tons of people in their 20s who are out to party, drink, and hookup. If you are older but look good enough, you will be able to fit in. I met guys in their 40s who were in good shape, going out on weekends and weeknights, and still pulling from the bars. You won't see this as much in a city like an Atlanta or most cities in the country. I think almost all guys who want to up their notch count, are serious about game, and want to pull like madman should spend a certain amount of time in NYC.
Even the scene itself, at least in Manhattan, kind of resembles whatever is hot at your typical all American university.
NYC prides itself on being international and it is in some ways, but not in how you may think. When it comes to the scene itself for nightlife or the go to spots in the city, it is hardly international. I'll venture to say that the most popular sorority girl at your university ended up in NYC and is now chasing clout there. Frat boys become finance or business guys in NYC. Sorority girls end up working in advertising and marketing. Better yet, they end up interning in NYC as they become upperclassmen
It literally is Manhattan or bust if you live in NYC.
Here's the truth, no one goes to NYC for anything other than a career or fun. All of these people saying they get a good bang for their buck living in Astoria are leeches that will party with you in Manhattan but then ask to sleep on your couch because they do not want to take the train back at night. If you cannot live in Manhattan, do not even bother with NYC. Get some roommates, there are lots of roommate apps, and go live in Manhattan. Literally all of the fun is in Manhattan, particularly the Lower East Side and East Village. Anyone who tells you of any other borough is a hater that wants you to get lectured by pink-haired feminists rather than sleeping with 10s.
It's very "basic" when it comes to the women.
It really is worth repeating.
One of my biggest shocks was that NYC was not that international of a city when it came to game and the nightlife scene. The typical girls you will find out in NYC are usually from elsewhere in the US, grew up in a suburban neighborhood, went to your typical state flagship school, follow sports, and then moved to NYC to practically extend college for the rest of their 20s in terms of fun. If you missed out on the sorority girl types in college and want to now spend your twenties just banging away at them, assuming you have your **** together, you go to Manhattan and game there. One downfall is that the scene in Manhattan also gets really woke and the woke types speak the loudest.
The competition is actually a joke for the most part.
Yes, NYC has its alphas, but I find that guys in NYC are more bark than bite compared to guys in Miami. If you look like you lift and sound like a normal cool dude, you can practically pull multiple women a month in the city. Most of NYC's nightlife is full of overcompensating younger dudes that religiously love sports and shout like idiots after getting drunk. I have had instances where I was just wandering about in the bar and a girl on a date wanted to go home with me than her guy, this was unheard of in other cities for me. Similarly, me and almost all of my friends have been approached in Manhattan.
Brooklyn is really overrated.
Everyone hypes up Williamsburg and how hip Brooklyn is. Well, the truth is that the people are much snobbier in Brooklyn than Manhattan because they have an inferiority complex over not being able to afford Manhattan. Williamsburg has become the gateway for San Francisco and Pacific Northwest "hipsters" who either work in tech or live on their parents' money to chase clout. The women are weirder, uglier, and almost every single one is a Cancel Culture Woke Harpie. Brooklyn does not deserve the hype it gets at all.
Please do not buy into the hype about Queens, it sucks.
Seriously, Queens sucks. People will hype up Astoria and LIC, there is zero to do there nightlife wise. It is also largely unsafe and you can wander off into the wrong part fast. Lots of people will try to sell you on Queens because you can afford a nice apartment there and "all the young people are moving there". This is bull****, the "young people" moving there are largely cucks and people who cannot afford Manhattan. You do not go to NYC for a nice apartment, you go there so you spend little time in your apartment. If you are thinking of Queens, just buy a house in Kansas instead.
People from Long Island are unbearable and almost every woman from there is a clout chasing social media queen.
Long Island is overcompensation personified, full of people who are too poor to live in Westchester County and too soft to live in any of the five boroughs. You will meet a lot of people who are from Long Island in the city and you will like almost none of them. The guys try their hardest to act like characters in a Martin Scorcese flick and the women are practically the worst of western women personified with an extra air of superiority. Most of the guys will start fights wherever they end up (and usually end up losing most of them) and the women seem to act trashy no matter how much they try to act bougee. Anywhere in the city lots of people from Long Island end up is called a "Bridge and Tunnel" bar.
If your standards are low enough and you do not mind sticking it in crazy, then the upside is that you can get laid easily because the guys have literally zero game.
Socially and culturally, it has declined in a big way 2010 and onward.
NYC might vote "Democrat" but it is the same city that had Giuliani and Bloomberg (both Republicans, to an extent) as mayor. Under De Blasio, the city started to get slightly worse every year and declined in a crazy way during the pandemic. Now NYC became the same city that gave the world lunatic donkeys like AOC. Why do I even mention politics here? It's because it started to reflect on the women in the city and its people. This was the first city to implement mandatory vaccine proofs for you to eat indoors or go to the gym.
One other subtle but powerful way NYC has declined is its aggressive infiltration by woke techies. Back when I would visit in my younger days, this city had alpha finance guys to a degree and was nothing like San Fran. As soon as tech companies started opening offices here, you saw bars and clubs fill more with the kinds of women you'd find in Seattle.
I'll add more to this.

Politically incorrect observations about NYC nightlife.
As the city reopens, officially in July, I think back to the years I spent going out in Manhattan before COVID-19 hit. What amazed me is that even in those years, some things just never really chan…
