Editorial Policy
We publish NYC nightlife recommendations with a usefulness-first standard. Our priority is helping readers decide faster and avoid low-quality options.
How we choose what to cover
- User intent (what people are actually trying to decide tonight/weekend).
- Neighborhood relevance (practical planning by area, not generic city lists).
- Decision utility (pricing context, timing windows, vibe fit, alternatives).
How we evaluate quality
- Door/logistics reality (lines, entry friction, reservation constraints).
- Price-to-experience value.
- Consistency over hype.
- Safety and accessibility considerations where relevant.
Updates and corrections
- We update pages when hours, policies, pricing, or availability materially change.
- If an item is outdated or incorrect, we revise and timestamp updates.
Commercial relationships
