Nightlife in New York City changed in a big way this decade. After the early aughts brought about the rise of the Meatpacking District megaclub, the 2008 economic crisis shorted the circuit, sending cool kids and creatives downtown, while rising rents and limited space pushed the real dance scene out to Brooklyn. Towards the end of the decade, nightlife saw a resurgence of excitement, with hitmakers like Ian Schrager bringing back the over-the-top vibes of the past. To celebrate how we got here in the first place and remember those who’ve come before, these are the nightclubs (both those still going strong and those long gone) that defined going out in NYC during the 2010s.
