Favorite Bars or Lounges in NYC?

Anyone have any suggestions for your favorite bars or lounges in NYC? Moving to NY in the summer for my internship and was wondering about the bar scene 

Thank you

Based on the highest ranked content on WSO, some of the favorite spots in NYC for a night out include Paul's, Gospel, and Blonde. These places are known for having a vibrant atmosphere and are popular among the finance crowd. However, be prepared to spend a bit, as securing a table can run you at least $300 per head these days. It's a great way to immerse yourself in the NYC nightlife and potentially network with others in the industry. Enjoy your internship and the dynamic bar scene in New York!

I got you man. Go straight to Phoebe’s

I know you’re probably joking, but I met the hottest blonde chick at Phebe’s. Incredible.
