\"LogoAs the \u201cCity that Never Sleeps\u201d, New York<\/a> certainly isn\u2019t lacking in nightlife. But if you want to experience something other than the clubs<\/strong> in the Meatpacking District or the dives in the East Village, consider the Guggenheim<\/strong>. Yes that\u2019s right – the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed contemporary art museum on the Upper East Side<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the first Friday of most months<\/strong>, the museum hosts \u201cArt After Dark,\u201d a cocktail-fueled dance party and art exhibit rolled into one. Since 2005, the Guggenheim has opened its doors to the nocturnal set for the popular monthly soiree. Currently on a summer hiatus, the series will start up again in October.<\/p>\n

For the $25 price of admission (free for members), you can enjoy some of the hottest DJ\u2019s and art in the city. And being able to wander through the galleries without the daytime touristy crowd is worth every penny. Drinks will run you a little extra, but you\u2019ll get to sip them in the museum\u2019s stunning white atrium. The event begins at 9 pm and rocks until 1 am<\/strong>. The key is to arrive early, before 8:30, to avoid the long lines.<\/p>\n

New York Habitat has hundreds of vacation rentals\u00a0in the Upper East Side<\/a> near the museum, perfect for attending \u201cArt After Dark\u201d and exploring other museums along Museum Mile. Check out:
