New York's SpeakeasiesArticle byAfter President Herbert Hoover announced the 18th amendment as, "a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive," thousands of underground bars and saloons were fashioned all across the country, known as speakeasies.

Nightlife In New York
Nightlife in Hell’s KitchenNew 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.
