It truly sucks being 50 days short of 21 as I'll be going with a couple college buddies to NYC later on this month. They're both 21 and I'm still 20... are there any options at all for me in terms of partying/clubs go or are we pretty much screwed? Would the fake ID route be the only chance of enjoying myself?

Webster Hall is one, not that great IMO, but it's always packed, can't think of anything better.
I had someone suggest Pasha... would you suggest that?
Are they really that anal about the exact DOB? Like... I turn 21 just a few weeks later.
Yes they are.
Forget fake ID's the days of those working are long gone, most places will scan your ID now.
There are clubs that are 18 and over, but they are scattered around the city. And don't expect to be served, they will likely put a wristband on you signifying you're unable to drink.

Pacha is 19+ on Fri only. There are a few places in the outer boroughs that allow women over 19, men 21. Some might not care, it depends. Best bet are those two clubs or trying to get sucked in with the crowd on the LES or Village. Bleeker and Meatpacking district really scan the hell out of IDs. NYC needs more 18+ nightlife, there used to be tons even a few years back.

Hello OP. The only thing I can think of right now is Bowlmor . It seems like an option for you, just not on Mondays, Fridays or Saturdays after 8 PM.
Please read the full restrictions in the link provided above.

Do you know any in particular? I know one in the bronx but not in a good area. Do you know any?
Male or female? Some places in the outer boroughs allow women 19+. Men are screwed. Not sure which, look around Astoria, LIC, Bay Ridge. Been years since I was under 21. Your best bet is meeting people and networking so you can get past the door. I'll tell you right now though the Meatpacking are not gonna happen for under 21 unless you know someone. My ID was expired and I still had a hard time at some places until I got scanned.
As for bad areas, it depends on the scene you like. I occasionally go uptown for the Latin Music+women. Just don't start any problems. Good luck.
If I were you, Pacha Fri; Webster Hall Sat. Guerenteed. I think there is this place called Greenhouse or something in like SoHo or the Village.

Male. If they can bend the age for females it can't be THAT serious can it? I mean.. a law is a law.
Unfortunately I'll be arriving early saturday morning (at like 3am) so I guess Pasha's now out of the picture.
