Here is a simple routine for those of you who may be visiting NYC on a budget, or living in NYC on a budget. Right now, I don't have much to report on the high-end Meatpacking, but the quality in the LES is top notch.
For a warm-up, head over to People Lounge between 9 and 11 pm. The vibe is laid-back, casual, perfect for warm-up approaches. There is no cover and the Stella is reasonably priced at $6, cocktail prices are not terrible either. At around 10:30 or 11:00pm, gauge the atmosphere. Sometimes there are private parties so all the cutest girls are hanging off some guys arm. Sometimes the talent level can be high enough to stick around, and there is a good dance party upstairs. In this case, it is a good place to bring a chick upstairs for dancing, lead her back downstairs to grab a drink and talk, and back and forth, etc etc.
If the vibe is not good, take a 5-minute walk to Libation. The cover is usually $10 for guys. You will want to get there before 11:00pm to avoid the line and stake out a good spot in the bar. If the downstairs is too packed, stake out a spot at the bar upstairs. Drinks are not terribly priced for NYC but be prepared to pay more than People Lounge. The talent level at this bar is quite high. Sometimes there are NYU parties so you will be dealing with 19-22 year old NYU chicks, who are shockingly easy and usually vapid. NYU is sort of a school for superficial, mildly intelligent upper-middle class to rich girls who couldn't get into an Ivy or NESCAC. I promise you that the talent level will be high enough for a man with reasonable game to grab numbers and chances of a one-night stand are not bad. Be prepared to shell out for a cab as you will want to get the girl to your apartment/hotel quick before she has time to reassess her situation.
If you failed to get a one-night stand, hopefully you grabbed some numbers. If not, pop into Iggy's across the street on your way out. You may be able to use a street approach to grab a chick and bring her into Iggy's for a dirt-cheap drink. Or, you can see if there are any stragglers to approach in this bar.
If Iggy's and street game fails you, it is going to be late and you are going to be hungry. Pop over next door to Mikey's Burger for a delicious burger, fries, and a milkshake. There are likely to be cute chicks in there that may be approachable.
If the one-night stand is not in the cards, hopefully you got some numbers, ogled and chatted up some high-quality talent, and ate a delicious burger. Light up a cigarette before you take a cab or hop in the subway back to your place of residence.
Saturday night - rinse and repeat.
