I am looking at a few opportunities in NYC and being that I am in my mid-twenties and single, I want to move to a part of the city where there are a lot of people that fit my profile and a lot of the local bars and locales are suited more for it. Ideally I'd like to be away from places that are more family oriented and mature because I have been living in a suburb for a bit after college, its been soul sucking!
I've heard Williamsburg fits the bill but any other areas I should be looking into?
Which one has the best bar and nightlife scene? I've heard great things about the Meatpacking District obviously but I'd want to know what areas a lot of people around my age are heading to bars and nightclubs at.

Stay out of Brooklyn and the Bronx, kid. If you can afford it, try Astoria Queens. Lots of action for your crowd, as well as multiple female races to sample, if you know what I mean.
Personally, when I was your age (20 years ago), I loved the upper East Side of Manhattan, especially if you're a corporate guy. It's not "hip," but nor is any part of NYC these days, however there is plenty of nice wealthy trim roaming the streets and bars at night. Damn I miss it.
Neighborhoods popular with younger transplants are Bushwick, Ridgewood, and to lesser degrees Astoria and the western halves of Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights.
Certainly there are parts of Manhattan that are good for nightlife such as the Meatpacking District and the Lower East Side, but the sheer cost of living generally doesn’t favor most younger people for living there, though East Village, LES sort of makes it work.
