One of the best things about NYC is the nightlife, you can be anywhere in the city and never be far away from a bar or club. Whatever your tastes in music there's a night club in NYC to suit your needs. Whether you like banging house anthems to soulful renditions, New York has every possible type of night club available. After a hard day's work there's nothing better than hitting a New York bar or club to dance the night away or simply have a quiet drink with friends. I'm not sure of the exact number of venues in this city but it's safe to say there are thousands of choices.
During the 70s, NYC night clubs experienced a boom thanks mainly to 'disco' music. Discotheque's popped up everywhere and DJ's pumped out the latest in disco hits, in front of large dancing crowds and strobe lighting. The times were magical, John Travolta was king and everyone had their dancing shoes on. During the 1980s London and Europe took over from NYC as the capital of the dance scene and bands like Boy George came out, their style of music was influenced by reggae music. The 1990s and 2000s was a time when much change occurred in club land and the Superclub evolved. Venues went from a capacity of 200 to 500 people to venues which held thousands of people. Venues like 'Cream' in Liverpool, UK and the famous Ministry of Sound night club in London became household names the world over. The style of music progressed from disco into house music and techno. Also, many NYC night clubs starting playing Hip-Hop and R&B style of music.

These days' people are moving away from the Superclub style of venue and heading back to smaller intimate establishments. I think it's safe to the days of having thousands of people squashed into a club are well and truly behind us. NYC night clubs are certainly geared towards the boutique style of clubbing mainly due to size constraints, New York has always had smaller style venues. A trip down to the East Village in NYC will uncover 100's of bars and night clubs and the area is perfect for bar hopping. Whatever you taste in music New York has it covered from Rap music to Jazz there are nightclubs to suit your every needs.
