NYC is very stratified. Manhattan is a luxury borough now with a huge in-flux of B&T on the weekends. Most of the rock and roll or hipster scene has relocated from the East Village to Brooklyn. There are, by far, many more hotter girls in the downtown area (Soho and Meatpacking). If you've got connections with promoters, there are many after-parties to hit up when the bars close at 4am.
