NYC nightlife covers a wide variety of entertainments, including parties, dancing, films, concerts, live theatre, opera, dance and so much more. The socialites and jet set enjoy sophisticated and lively entertainment, and this is why you will often find them in cabaret clubs.

Cabaret acts usually perform in a restaurant or nightclub, and the acts revolve around song, with comedy, drama and often dance thrown in the mix to keep it communicating with the audience. The music of choice in these clubs is jazz. The singer may be accompanied by a single piano or by an entire big band, depending on the performer and the venue.
