The best New York night tours & experiences with locals

That New York has been nicknamed the “city that never sleeps” is no accident: when the sun sets over the Big Apple, the fun is just beginning. On a City Unscripted New York night tour, this legendary city’s lit-up skyscrapers, late-night venues, and cultural landmarks fizz with an energy that’s palpable. The things to do in New York at night range from the humblest of activities to the highest culture, and there’s something for every type of night owl. Maybe you’ll seek out the city’s famous food trucks and street eats, catch incredible performances of ballet or burlesque, or see a lavish Lincoln Center production – this is your New York night tour; we’ll just plan it!

Explore the city after sunset

New York is the ultimate nightlife city. In fact, the list of things to do in NYC at night is even longer than the day, and there’s nothing you can’t do after sunset. Maybe you’ll spend a night in the super-trendy Meatpacking District, a hub of classy cocktail lounges and it-crowd clubs, or perhaps you’ll seek out the Manhattan haunts frequented by the rich and famous. If you like things low-key, a moonlit stroll across Brooklyn Bridge followed by a slice of NY-style pizza and a drink at a cozy bar might pique your interest. Your New York night tour can be whatever you want it to be.

    It was great that Mei was able to find delicious bars and restaurants that suited my tastes on the run. We didn’t do the usual places, but a really nice little bar for nibbles and drinks, a Vietnamese cafe and Spanish restaurant. I like tasty little flavour bombs rather than pizza, and this really delivered. Great bites but most memorable was the pan cont tomate at the Spanish restaurant. I also enjoyed the stroll through Greenwich and West Villages with Mei’s commentary.
