Things to do in NYC tonight
Tonight is the easiest night to waste deciding. Tell the quiz where you are, who you're with and how much energy you have, and it narrows Manhattan down to a few places that fit.
Start with where you already are
Most good nights in Manhattan stay within a few blocks. Downtown, the Lower East Side, the East Village and the West Village sit close together, with bars and small restaurants on almost every street. In Midtown, Hell's Kitchen is a short walk west and keeps going after the theaters let out. Pick your neighborhood first and the quiz looks there before it looks next door, so your matches are places you can actually reach tonight, not ones across town.
Pick the hour, not just the night
A place that's right at 7 can be the wrong call at 11. The quiz asks when you're going: happy hour, evening, late night, or Whenever, which goes with the current time in New York. Late night favors kitchens and bars that keep going past midnight, and places known to be closed at the time you pick are left out of your matches.
Match the energy to your mood
Some nights call for a packed room and loud music, others for a corner table where you can hear each other. The quiz asks whether you want it buzzing, somewhere in between, or quiet and intimate, and whether you'd rather be inside or out. If you can't say what you're in the mood for, pick Surprise Me and the quiz will choose for you.
