New York nightclub: practical tips
Now you have a few ideas that should help you choose a nightclub in New York. Now here are some tips to optimize your night out and have worry-free fun.
First of all, never forget your ID card. As I already mentioned in the blog, no need to present your French driving license at the entrance, you will be refused most of the time. Also leave your passport in a safe place (hotel safe) and prefer to have your identity card.
You must of course have over 21 years in order to go to nightclubs in New York and consume alcohol in a bar, or buy it in the supermarket.
Then, as in most nightclubs in general, avoid groups too large, at the risk of being refused entry. If you are with a lot of friends, prefer to split up into several small mixed groups to facilitate entry.
If you are among girls, you can also try to come to a nightclub with a sponsor, which will ensure you a crazy evening at a lower cost!
Also remember to always take care of your outfit and behavior, and don't arrive too late, a little before midnight. This will avoid long queues or even a crowded place.
Are you ready to ignite the dance floor? Perfect. Have fun and do not hesitate to try out several nightclubs to vary the pleasures. However, do not forget: alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health! And then it would be a shame to end your night in police custody, right?
