Agree with this. I'm not from NYC, nor do I live there, but I've visited a lot during different seasons over the years, and in no way does the city "die" in the winter. And there really are 24-hour options throughout large chunks of the city.
It would be interesting to know what neighborhood Staysean lives in.
I live in Midwood in Brooklyn. But November 14th I will be living in Jackson.heights because it's faster for me to get to work from there.
Compared to summer yes it's much more calm. Especially this past winter. I spend most of.my.time between 159th and Edgecome to Soho. I go to 24hr planet fitness in Chelsea next to F.I.T. my party spots are G lounge XL Boxers both locations therapy The Ritz etc. I spend a lot of time in meat packing because I like walking the high line,
Just went roller skating Sunday at the Brooklyn pier with some friends. Long island city is my favorite place to view NY skyline.
I spend a lot of time in Manhatten during the day and at night.
Pretty much any large city is going to have at least one district or part of town that has an "all night", or at least a "late night" presence. Some cities are just better at promoting/projecting themselves to the rest of the nation as being these "all night" meccas than others. Even in Houston, where I grew up, there was the Montrose neighborhood, where most restaurants, cafes, and other businesses stayed open and busy all night long. A lot of after-hours clubs, and some of the bars would continue serving well past last call, if you knew the right way to go about asking for a drink. With all the recent gentrification and shifting demographics there this may have changed. I don't really know, but in the 70's and 80's it was pretty much 24-7. However, unless you lived in Southeast Texas, you never heard much about it. I imagine every big city has a neighborhood like this.
Same thing in Atlanta. You had plenty of 24hr grocery stores late night eateries etc
NYC is very expensive to live in. What cities have reasonably priced offerings in the middle of the night? Restaurants? Getting a haircut? Someone posted about libraries. Is there really a 24-hr library in NYC? What sort of selection does it have? Do any other cities have 24 hr access to a library?
I was in Las Vegas recently and everything on the Strip was extremely expensive. I'm guessing there are still things to do/restaurants off the strip that are 24 hrs..

If you want to save money in Vegas while still having the Strip feel, downtown/fremont is where you want to be.
Still a 24 hour atmosphere and food/drinks are a lot cheaper.

NYC isn't "very expensive to live in". Only housing is expensive. Day-to-day stuff (groceries, restaurants, clothes, and the like) are the same price as anywhere else in the U.S.

Yeah, I agree... Saying NYC is expensive kind of opens a whole new can of worms.

One thing is for sure though, Southerns would crap their pants when they saw how expensive Cigarettes are. Good incentive to quit in my opinion.
I saw this a few months back and thought it was pretty interesting concerning expenses.

Absolutely - several things (beyond just housing) are simply more expensive in NYC. On the other hand, you truly do not need to buy, maintain, and care for a car, which is a pretty large expense unless you drive an 80s rustbucket.
Many years ago when I smoked for some reason, I was shocked that cigs were $10 a pack in NYC. That was over double what I was used to. And triple the amount they were paying in Indiana. I made sure to stock up in IN whenever I was headed to NYC from then on. Until I thankfully quit.

Besides housing, I can't think of any common necessities that are more expensive in NYC than in other American cities. If anything, groceries and takeout tends to be cheaper. Transit is obviously cheaper. Everything else is around the same in my experience.
I am in Boston and everything is more expensive than other parts of the US - groceries, drinks, etc. I just assumed it was the case in all major cities.
