It is an interesting topic, but I have no idea where they go. It is better to ask someone related to them, I'm not sure if anyone here knows real info

 

If you want to meet people in banking in the city, you have to go to bars close by, relative to where the firm is located. For example, a lot of Goldman Sachs MD, not even joking, hung out at New York Dolls strip club in downtown Manhatten. Yes, I know this from my own personal experience. When I was midtown, we hung out at the bars a few blocks away. If you want to see traders and especially the sales trader, they hang out at Sapphire in midtown. If they have a suit on without a tie and some nice pair of shoes, definately a finance guy. You're welcome.

 

Not based in NYC (or USA) and only a former SA. Buy why would anyone in their early 20's party somewhere beside college bars, especially as an Analyst?

I've been to "elite"/more expensive clubs and getting girls there is fucking difficult if you don't get bottles, wear a rolex etc. it happens but it's not the norm. While picking up chicks/getting their numbers is not a problem in college bars (doesn't matter if you rock a $20 casio)

 

One of the funniest parts about this site is the dudes who think wearing Rolex’s and driving a Mercedes will get you laid

Reminds me of the family guy clip below
