What to do and see in Lower East Side, New York (NY): The Best Nightlife

August 13, 2021 Claudia Navarrete

Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

The Back Room

The Back Room is one of only two speakeasies in New York City that operated during Prohibition and is still in existence today. It is a timeless example of the underbelly of New York past. The original 1920’s speakeasy, known simply as “The Back of Ratner’s,” played host to many theater and movie actors of the “Roaring Twenties,” as well as famous gangsters of the era. These gangsters included Bugsy Siegel, Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky. They were known to use the space for “business meetings.”

By far one of the highlights of my trip to NYC. I’m a big lover of a speakeasy and prohibition era so coming across this I knew I could not skip it, and wow I’m glad I didn’t. We took the subway down to the lower east side and walked about 5/10 mins to the bar, looking incredibly hard for the entrance and only being given away by the small sign (if you know you know). Once inside, wow, it was an incredible transformation, and so unexpected. The decor was beautiful and fitting with the period, lots of quirky pieces and lovely sofas and chaise lounges, and so many globes! We stayed for a few drinks however happily would have stayed longer had it not been our last night in New York. Range behind the bar was slightly limited but all I needed was gin and this was ample. Would defiantly go back with friends.

The Delancey

We're Closed... For Now! Due to the recent mandate by the City Of New York, we will be temporarily closing our doors until further notice. We will keep you updated as we get more information and as the situation develops. We will stay connected and hopeful through social media during this time. While it’s hard to believe that this is all happening, we believe in the power of our community and the strength of all New Yorkers. The three level club is home to a downstairs music venue, main level bar, and the only all weather rooftop garden of its kind peering out onto the Manhattan side of the Williamsburg Bridge. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a long luxurious bar illuminated by a candlelit ceiling. Surrounding the bar are party spaces including a chandelier lined VIP room, elegant window room, and red velvet booths which are enveloped by silky drapes. These may be reserved on a nightly basis at no charge, and the space booked for each party is based on estimated number of guests in the party. Across from the bar sits a high standing booth where resident and guest DJs spin the night away, and you can rock out to your favorite music. A quick walk up one of two rooftop staircases leads to a lush tropical open air oasis leaving behind the hustle and bustle of the city. The retractable roof allows for parties rain or shine, Summer or Winter, with another full service bar and cocktail atmosphere.
