Where is the nightlife crowd at? (Highest foot traffic at night) (New York: area, places)

[RiverofThoughts]

Hello New York! I just arrived in NYC from Canada. First of all, I would like to say that you have a fantastic city! its truly a wonder!! I wanted to see if someone can point me in the right place. I am a digital projection artist, I project 3D artwork onto sidewalks temporarily. I am looking for the most foot traffic(excluding time sqaure) at night/dark hours for maximum exposure,including late nights from around 8pm-3am. Where are the late night club/bars at and where can I find the most foot traffic during these hours? What intersection and streets are the most walked at night? Where is the nightlife crowd at?

Thank you.

West 4th street and 6th avenue
Houston and avenue A, B, C, D


Really the most foot traffic ive seen is Ludlow and stanton.

But all these places are filled with out of state transplanted wannabee New Yorkers.

Most people carry that real New York essence are NOWHERE near these places, at least not en mass.

Its funny, you might even meet more canadians in these places than born and raised Native New Yorkers but maybe thats not what you're looking for.

Meatpacking distrisct is always a hot area for crowds of young people doing the nightlife thing. Unon Square is also a give me.
