Best Nightclubs in NYC

I love a night out, especially in NYC. This is a map of my favorite nightclubs I love to dance at or just grab some drinks with friends. This map has nightclubs mostly in Midtown & Chelsea, plus a couple of options in Greenwich Village, NoHo, & Harlem. I've included the classics, plus some hidden gems. This is a living map, meaning, if you save it now, I'll continue adding places to it when I find them & you'll get the updates!

Stage 48

@meko

Also known as HK Hall, this club has a bunch of levels so if you don't like the music on one level, you can go to the next one. It's also by Times Square, so it's pretty touristy.

Pergola

@meko

$$$ | Pergola is a cute hookah lounge. It's one of my favorite places, I love it. You can often spot celebrities, they sometimes go after games at Madison Square Garden which is nearby. This is my number one top pick when people ask me where they should go when they visit New York. They also have really good food. Even if you don't smoke hookah, I still think you should go.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Meko Rooks

Motherhood With No Limits🤱🏽 🛫 Hi! I'm a lifestyle blogger and social influencer. Being a native New Yorker has given me the ability to transition from the fast-paced city life to balancing a family while continuing to travel & explore. I have a passion for trying new foods, discovering underwater life, learning new cultures, and exploring different countries. I'm born and raised in New York & have lived there for over 20 years now! I love traveling abroad with my kids (and without them), but when I'm home, I love exploring my City. My favorite things to do in NY are to look for new pop up activities. Depending on what season or holiday is happening, there's always a fun event going on. I also love rooftop bars & enjoying the city views. I'm a foodie at heart so that's the number one thing I get asked for recommendations. Food & nightlife in the City. I also love to find a lot of fun unique activities for the kids because I love getting my kids out of the house to explore parks & indoor activities. I've been featured in publications such as HuffPost, SkyScanner, Travel Noire, The Points Guy, & Seeker for my NYC & other travel expertise.
