This past November, I went back to NYC and achieved a new high in game. In a span of a week, I had 4 lays. NYC holds a special place in my heart because I spent a great deal of my twenties there and despite not practicing much game, still managed to get laid from dating apps and hooking up drunk from bars. If I had game before the pandemic hit NYC, I'd easily be at a triple digit lay count right now. I decided though to give back to this community by making this guide for all of you, it is gonna be long and I will continue to add to it.

About game overall in NYC.

Easy. After grinding in Miami for a year and doing my best, NYC was a cakewalk when I went back for a visit last year. Women in NYC were easy, lay ups, and the competition almost didn't exist. Meanwhile, in Miami I am dealing with women who have been approached over ten times in a day by aggressive and muscular naturals. If you cannot get laid in NYC, the problem is you. I cannot think of an easier city in North America for a guy than NYC when it comes to hooking up.

Location, logistics, and where to game.

You must live in Manhattan at all costs.

I know this is going to draw a lot of criticism but you must live in Manhattan in order to truly enjoy NYC. Most people, even men in their 30s, live with roommates. If you can find decent roommates or even good ones, you have a lot of advantages. Good roommates can set up a party vibe at your place so you have an excuse to get a girl back and try your luck because it is an "After Party". The hottest girls are all in Manhattan and these are also the girls who are usually the most DTF.

Some say Brooklyn is good but I always found it overrated. I found that Williamsburg and Bushwick (which is located next to a dangerous area) were full of hipsters/progressives with a chip on their shoulder. Most of them put on the outwardly bohemian act but were the most rude, snobby, and condescending people you could ever meet. Brooklyn is also slightly more cliquish than Manhattan although once again, it is NYC so game is doable there but I noticed the quality was lower.

All other boroughs and places are full of women who stick tightly with their social cliques from college and are tougher to game in nightlife. Do yourself a favor and get a spot in Manhattan, even if it is a closet. People will argue about a bigger apartment in Queens but you are not going to NYC for a bigger place, if you want that then just go live in Texas.

Night Game.

The main spots are Meatpacking and Lower East Side (LES). However, I'd say the big spots closest to you are what you want.

The Meatpacking District has all of the big name clubs like PhD, Le Bain, and Catch. If you want to get into PhD or some of the big clubs, try to come really early like 9:30 to 10:30 at night. Usually, they will tell you that you can come in but you have to stay for the night because if you leave, then you have to pay a cover as after 10:30 or so it becomes a cover charge for men. Le Bain and Catch are trickier to get into than PhD and can vary by night. I found Le Bain to be the best nightclub in the city in my time there.

For LES, the big spot is Mr Purple at Hotel Indigo. Lines get really long for this spot so I recommend going early in the afternoon to get stamped and then making sure the stamp does not fade for you. Then you can come back later on and practically cut the lines because you have been stamped. The other big bars are Hair Of The Dog, 1 on 1, and Grayson but these are all really fratty, packed, and loud so you are running spammy nightgame here if anything. Further away from it all is Fool's Gold in the area where I pulled a couple of times.

I'd say the LES has the most bars per capita in all of NYC and you are bound to find some bar with talent in your stay. Kind Regards is another good one and the list can go on and on and on.

The other good nightlife spots that come to mind are Gem Saloon in Murray Hill. It was always good on a Thursday and when I lived in the area in my first year in NYC, I had four consecutive Thursdays where I pulled from there.

The Upper East Side has Stumble Inn which is the main bar there and Penrose which is a good restaurant that turns into a bar at night.

Day Game.

My main go to spot was Washington Square Park near NYU. You are likely to find a lot of talent there but even the surrounding areas to the park are full of probably the hottest girls in the city since Soho is nearby and so is East Village. At times, just take a walk through East Village, LES, or Soho during the day for great quality. In my time back in November, my 1 daygame lay was from gaming in this area.

Bryant Park had a Whole Foods near it and the Salesforce building. Quality was lower but you could find a worn out woman done with work who might be in need for some d1ck. Outside of these places, I think that Manhattan in general can be somewhat decent for game.

I'd avoid super touristy spots like Times Square as people are rushing to see stuff and have already been scared by the 10th homeless guy rushing at them and harassing them. The vibe is more tense and people are far less receptive.

The other thing you can do is just go to some bars like Hair Of The Dog or Mr Purple during the day and you will find that you can pull the occasional girl here and there. My roommate pulled a sorority girl from Texas doing her internship one summer from Hair Of The Dog during the day.

Online Game.

When I was in NYC, Hinge seemed to be the best app for online game for me. Other apps seemed to flooded and Hinge was the one where I consistently got matches. One app to look for in NYC is an app called BOUNCE. You basically choose where you want to have your dates based on area and then it runs you through matches in real time for like a certain amount of time. If you match, you meet on that day and if either of you flakes, they delete your profile. Years back, Bumble was good for me in NYC but around 2018 it went downhill.

As I continue this thread, I will talk about your competition and culture too.

Part 2

Your competition and the culture.


Let me describe the competition in one word in NYC: Comedic. Guys in New York (at least the ones you will be dealing with when out in the hot nightlife spots and not the men in places like Harlem or The Bronx) are like Yorkies with a bark, that is the best way for me to describe them. Not only are they generally shorter than average, they are also in every way like your aunt's annoying Yorkie. Always barking, always ruining a good vibe, but it's a freaking Yorkie. It's different from say a Chicago because I describe Chicago guys as Great Danes. Philly is more like a Pitbull since we are having fun with this and Boston a German Shepherd. Miami? I'd say it's more like a Pitbull as well but one of those quiet scary looking ones.

NYC is home to Average Frustrated Chumps and the Frustrated part is emphasized. New York guys have a chip on their shoulder but usually awful game mixed in with being very sensitive and taking themselves too seriously. You can go out at night and notice that very few guys are actually approaching. I have also had some of the worst wings in my life in the city as well. Of all the major cities, I'd say NYC guys have the worst game and are the easiest ones to AMOG.

You will practically have to deal with a lot of jealous dudes in NYC when you run game. The guys might be educated and smart but they take themselves too seriously and lack game. NYC guys are the type of guys who will talk to you about female nature nonstop over some beers but then nervously deliver their pickup line when girls are nearby, most won't even approach. The annoying dudes in the city who are always barking and full of envy will drive you crazy if you are not good at dealing with petty and annoying dudes.

The worst guys from NYC are always from Long Island. Spoiled middle class types that desperately hang on to their high school and college image. These guys are leeches and will drain you dry if you let them anywhere close to you. If you are approaching and getting girls, these dudes are watching and trying to latch on to your approaches and sets. I have never met an area that produces more pathetic men in my life than Long Island and they are some of the most irritating ones to deal with.

These guys are also the ones causing fights at bars over a girl. A lot of them deep down know that their former high school crush is getting plowed by some dude with an apartment in Manhattan. The only reason they end up in Manhattan is because they take the train every weekend to the city and go solely for the purpose of either getting stupidly drink or picking a fight. Most of them can't fight and just rely on a guy not wanting to bother with that trashiness. A lot of them do have cops in their family so if you fight one, have a damn good lawyer handy.

Unfortunately, it becomes tiring dealing with the barking Yorkie. You know you can kick it across the room but you just want to have some peace and game. Plus you know the commotion you will cause once you kick that Yorkie across the room as well.

The types of girls you will run into in Manhattan.

The 20-something fresh out of college girl not from the Northeast.

For most guys looking to up their lay count and not sacrifice on quality, this will be your bread and butter. Usually the typical white girl that went to a Big 10, SEC, ACC, or West Coast university. Was probably in the hottest sorority at her school or was one of the hotter girls in her school. She comes to NYC and finds that the competition for her is tough as Manhattan is loaded with model-tier women. Finds that there are just as many hot girls who went to other state schools and starts to feel a bit insecure. Ever have that one sorority girl you couldn't smash in your college days? Well, you can smash now if your game is tight.

If you want to smash good looking white girls in their 20s, I cannot think of a better city to do it than NYC. Almost every other top notch sorority girl is trying to make it in Manhattan and she is open to being gamed there compared to her cliquey college town.

The 20-something college grad from the Northeast.

Probably went to Penn St, Syracuse, Marist, Stony Brook, Rutgers, or any of the other large universities in the northeast. I won't even count the kids from New England here, I am talking kids mainly in the CT, NY, and NJ area. These girls are usually from the NYC area themselves (particularly Long Island) and often a lot more stuck up and rude. They have a b1tchy frame and act snobby but it is easy to break it. Simply poke at how Greek Life and the sporting culture (especially football) in the northeast is not that big, she will start to slowly crack and prove herself to you.

Interns.

Summer time and the city fills up with women from universities all over the world. Ever wonder what guy was sleeping with the hottest girl at your university during the summer? Probably the guy who gamed her during her internship in the summer. Open season and great time to game in the venues I listed. Tons of just turned 21 type of girls looking for someone to show them around the city.

Classy NYC girls.

Usually from places like Westchester County or the Upper East/Upper West side of Manhattan. As much as I hate NJ, some are from the wealthier old money parts of NJ. Some are from the North Shore of Long Island where the old money usually lives and are a far cry from the blue collar guidettes that inhabit Long Island. Usually of WASP or Jewish descent, likely went to an Ivy League or elite university, and quite cultured. You will find them hanging out in West Village coffee shops a lot. Even though she was a psychopath, think of the blonde in Gone Girl that played Ben Affleck's crazy wife. They prefer cultured guys that can hold a conversation.

Trashy NYC girls.

Usually from Staten Island, most of Long Island, or Bergen County, NJ. A famous artist once said that you can pay for school but you can't buy class. Not always poor but usually come from a background where dad was a cop or firefighter. Often gung ho about being a devout Catholic, desperately try to imitate women in Middle America, and usually of Italian or Eastern European descent. Loud, confrontational, narcissistic, and often have a lot of jealous guys in their lives who are the type to start fighting over a girl.

Often an easy bang as they are tired of beta simps in their circle so gaming them is easy, especially if they are traveling to Manhattan. Unfortunately, toxic and not worth the headache.

European women.

The quality of European women in NYC is abysmal, even I was thrown off by this. It seems like the most hypergamous, toxic, and Koko Beaute type that @SW15 refers to often move to NYC. Even more narcissistic and toxic than any of the American women you will meet in NYC (except for maybe Italian American women in the city). The worst are by far Russian and Eastern European women in the city. Usually trophy wives looking for a free meal ticket or escorts. The quality of international women in NYC was a massive let down.

Outside of Russian and Eastern European women, NYC attracts a lot of French women and man are they are a freaking mess. The one group of Euro girls I noticed were cool in NYC were Scandinavian girls.

Some say you should go to Queens or some ethnic ghetto to game them but don't even bother. Outside of Manhattan, the dudes mateguard like crazy and you can risk your life gaming some Greek chick in Astoria.

Latinas.

Just like with European women, I was left dumbfounded at the poor quality of Latinas in NYC. The best representative for NYC Latinas is AOC, practically women that look, think and act like her. I will leave the rest up to you to see how bad it is.

Black women.

I don't really bother with black women but compared to other cities, the quality was not that great. Atlanta on the other hand has some downright amazing black women but I was not impressed with NYC.

Asian women.

A lot of them there in NYC but I don't really bother with Asians, not my thing. You either get the hardcore FOB types attached to their culture or the super white washed ones that will give an arm and a leg to be white.

Very good!

I cannot think of an easier city in North America for a guy than NYC when it comes to hooking up.
I'm sure it is easier than Dallas or Fort Worth.

You are likely to find a lot of talent there but even the surrounding areas to the park are full of probably the hottest girls in the city since Soho is nearby and so is East Village.

That sounds like something special for day game that would be difficult to reproduce in a lot of other bigger US metro areas, especially in the Sun Belt.

Just got home from a long weekend in Brooklyn. I was impressed with a lot of it. Still taking it all in. Women of all sorts everywhere. Don’t need a car and the trains run 24/7. Definitely will live there if I can work it out.

I guess it is a matter of taste but I always found Brooklyn underwhelming. What sucks is that Bushwick which is up and coming is located next to some very seedy and dangerous parts of the borough.

In terms of ease? Yes. In no other city can a man easily rack up 100+ notches in a year.

In terms of competition? LOL maybe the boss of soy. It softens you up and spoils you. Then you end up going to a city like Miami like I did and get crushed hard by the competition to where you have to hit the gym more and tighten up your game.

I find it illogical people would want to live with roommates their whole life to live in NYC.

I wouldn't live there if you paid me to.

Love visiting tho.

If you find a good setup it can be fun as a single guy. Or you can just make a lot of money and find a nice 1 bedroom for yourself.
That's the sad part...make a lot of money and be restricted to a one bedroom apartment the size of a closet.

Or live so far out you have to commute 2 hours a day each way if you aren't working remote and have no life. That's not living. That's existing.

No thanks. I'm far happier living a normal life where I can get in a car and drive across town in 20-30 minutes.

For a good salary ($200k+), believe me, you can get a pretty nice pad in NYC. Is it gonna be the size of a house in Texas? No, but it is going to be sweet. A lot of amenities like a rooftop pool, gym in the building, granite countertops, conference rooms for remote work, basketball court in some cases, and all of that.

I had a lot of fun banging chicks in metro NYC.

You forgot one part, OP-

Flying bvtches in. I have a buddy, he is not RP aware at all. He got his lays almost exclusively from proximity to NYC. He would fly girls in all the time. Which broad doesn’t want to visit the city of greatness?

Location, logistics, and where to game.

I agree with this. Either live in Manhattan or don't live in NYC at all. I chose not to live in NYC.

Logistics are so important to game. The other NYC boroughs don't offer logistics advantages in game.

While there are worse places to try to get your penis wet than Brooklyn or Queens, it's still not ideal compared to what is nearby. And Brooklyn and Queens are still pricy compared to a metropolitan area of 200,000 - 500,000 in other areas of the USA.

New York City is not Las Vegas. Someone can enjoy NYC prior to turning 21.

Visiting Las Vegas when you are 12 vs. when you are 25 are much different experiences. The differences between ages 12 and 25 are not as drastic.

If you're under 21 in New York City, you can see Broadway shows, Times Square, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, and some other things. Times Square has only been acceptable since the 1990s, as during the 1970s-1980s, it was filled with seedy adult entertainment type businesses.

Back in the 1990s, even Las Vegas taxicabs had ads for strip clubs on them, which wasn't appropriate for children.
