I think basically NYers do the same things in the winter that they do in the summer such as eating out, going to the movies, visiting museums and on nice days going to the local parks (for winter activities rather than summer activities of course), etc.

FIOS and NETFLIX were specifically invented for the icy days of January and February.

Save yourself the expense and avoid anywhere in Manhattan. There are rinks in the outer boroughs not nearly as pricey or crowded.

-World Ice Arena

Van Cortlandt Park Ice Skating Rink

Well, I do not personally drink or use drugs, but somehow ... I think this could be close to the truth !

There are many museums - MoMA, the Met ...
In spite of the cold, people still line up in hoards beginning late Friday afternoon for free MoMA. Not all are tourists - often looks like many locals to me.

And there is still walking around and doing things. You can buy some good long underwear. We always have this on hand.

Not surprising given the $22 tarriff at all times EXCEPT a couple hours Friday evening.
With their policy I HOPE they don't get a single penny of tax money.

Why would nightlife die out?

The only real difference is there are fewer people lingering outside. For obvious reasons, people aren't eating outside, many rooftop bars close (though many are heated and stay open), there's no Shakespeare/movies in the park, etc.

Otherwise, it's business as usual. You just wear more. It's NYC, it's not Antarctica.
