NYC and the nightlife

[napolisoccer]

NYC is a mythical city in the world for many reasons : economical, financial, architectural and above all because it is the most multiethnic city in the world. But another fundamental aspect of this city is that it is a 24/7 city : in fact the subway, buses, trains , delis, groceries etc are open 24/7.
Even the 4 AM LAST CALL in the bars and clubs to contribute to create the world myth of the CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS.
Yesterday I read this article of the last 18th April about the new NYC clubs and bars ( http://www.nysun.com/new-york/4-am-last-calls-could-be-headed-the-way-of-smoky/74836/ ) and I am a little worried.
I know that almost all the NYC SOCCER fans live in NYC and are youngs.
WHAT IS THE ACTUAL SITUATION ABOUT THE TIME CLOSING OF THE NEW CLUBS / BARS OF NYC ? I HOPE THAT ALSO THE MOST OF THEY HAVE THE LAST CALLS AT 4 AM.

these closing time stipulations are for new establishments, not already existing ones, so don't worry too much. I know both Brad Hoylman and Susan Stetzer, and they should be ashamed of themselves. Both are keenly aware of the mystique that is nyc, and they know that their neighborhoods have always been at the heart of the nightlife scene, so they should know, and do know, that what they are trying to do is backwards thinking. Nevertheless, they are responding to stodgy old neighborhood residents who belong to the community board who are at the pinnacle of NIMBY ("not in my backyard thinking")

The stupidest thing of all of this is that when you have a closing time of 4 a.m., it spreads out the time people leave, which means less time in the street. If bars and clubs suddenly all had to close at 2, the streets will be riotous at that time.

most bars in nYC close at 4 - there are some - that if you knock on the door and you are known - will let you in beyound that!! :)

Thanks boys. Fortunately I have seen on NYC citysearch site that also some new bars / clubs are open until 4 AM for 7 days.
I have another little curiosity : in Italy the Saturday late night ( 12 AM - 5 AM ) and Sunday late night ( 12 AM - 5 AM ) are the days with more people in the bars/clubs and on the streets. Instead I know that in NYC that happens above all the Friday late night, the Saturday late night and also the Thursday late night.
My ask is this : what is instead the night ( 12 AM / 5 AM ) with fewer people in the bars / clubs and in the streets of NYC ? Is it Sunday late night or Tuesday late night for example ?
