An ideal choice is to explore the areas of Brentwood and Beverly Hills. Home to amazing shopping, star gazing and restaurants galore, this section of town can easily fill a day of exploration.

Tampa nightlife is often times synonymous with Channelside or Ybor City. Channelside, the upbeat, outdoor mall on the bay with its awe-inducing view and its wilder, Mardi Gras inspired older sister Ybor, have been staples of the Tampa scene for years. Looking for something new? Check out South Howard Street, also known as Soho.

New York City's Hell's Kitchen has certainly come a long way in the past twenty years. While formerly an area of seediness and crime, today the expanse of blocks west and south of Central Park is home to some of the city's best bars, restaurants, clubs and theatre.

For the perfect night in Hell's Kitchen, start with a drink at Kevin St. James on 8th Avenue and 46th Street. This dive bar is the perfect place to listen to some loud music, chat with locals or enjoy some surprisingly good appetizers. Plus, it's one of the cheapest bars in the area.
