MEATPACKING DISTRICT. Hazzard County's Boar's Nest meets "Deliverance." Okay, so "chic" probably isn't the word that most use to describe this West Village honky-tonk. Nevertheless, the place remains popular with everybody – bikers, wedding parties, celebrities and co-eds. Expect to see everything from the occasional bride-to-be dancing on the bar and scantily clad servers to bras hanging from the ceiling and free flowing liquor. Hogs and Heifers fosters a certain degree of rowdiness, and patrons leave knowing they've had a good time – though, they may not remember it. TRAIN: A, C, E to 14th St

EAST VILLAGE. An old, emerald standby with close to 150 years under its belt, this Irish bar offers only two distinct libations: McSorley's Light and McSorley's Dark. A younger, primarily male crowd regularly darkens the doors of this tried but true neighborhood haunt. TRAIN: 6 to Astor Pl; NF to 2nd Ave

CHELSEA. Chelsea's Red Rock West is this neighborhood's equivalent to the West Village's Hogs and Heifers. This New York saloon attracts a good mix of Harley-riders and downtown executives, who somehow manage to coexist without too much friction. The jukebox here usually spins out all of your down-home favorites, from Hank, Jr. and Lynyrd Skynyrd to David Allen Coe and Molly Hatchet. Best of all are the beautiful barhops, who frequently climb on the bar to show everybody how to dance properly. TRAIN: A, C, E to 14th St

BROOKLYN. Situated in Bay Ridge between 4th and 5th Avenues, the ultra-flashy Legacy Nite Club is one of South Brooklyn's premier dance clubs. Like a set from "Saturday Night Fever," this historic nightspot, which dates from the 1950s, offers it's well-dressed patrons the chance to boogie on a sunken dance floor under the irradiant rays of disco balls and strobe lights. The Legacy's professional DJ, Tito Ramirez, spins the best dance music around, ranging from 70s disco to modern R & B and hip-hop. Valet parking is available. TRAIN: N, R to 86th St

SOHO. This smart looking dance hall, named after William Burroughs's famous book, is a good place to spot the occasional celeb. Conspicuously located on the corner of Thompson and Grand, the Naked Lunch is one of SoHo's favorite places to do the salsa, and dance to great 80s tunes on the weekends. After work, it's not uncommon to see a few business types here, waiting for the party to start and tossing back a cold brew. If you don't mind gawkers, you're welcome to start shaking your booty early. TRAIN: 1, 9, A, C, E to Canal St

STATEN ISLAND. On Staten Island and in the mood for some good, old-fashioned German cooking? Killmeyer's has just what you need. The one-time inn has changed very little since first opening around 1890, boasting an original mahogany bar, period furnishings, and a unique wrought-iron Spaten sign. The menu features authentic German dishes such as veal shanks and saurbraten. Of course, beer is "kaiser," and the mini-kegs of Kostritzer, Schwarzbier or any of the inn's on-tap Weiss beers are favorites. To get to Killmyers's, take the Staten Island Ferry then Bus S74 to Sharrotts Road.

THEATRE DISTRICT. Not for the timid, Caroline's presents well-known acts performing raunchy comedy. A two-drink minimum is strictly enforced, but you will want more than two if you sit close to the front since you will end up being part of the act. TRAIN: C, E, 1, 9 to 50th St; B, D, E to 7th Ave; N, R to 49th St

MIDTOWN EAST. The Whiskey Blue, located on the corner of Lexington and 49th Street, enjoys the patronage of a good mix of people – from models and entertainers to local business types and wannabe hipsters. The lounge's eclectic (if sleek) décor includes several comfy couches and a few velvet lounge chairs, making it look like the set of a music video. TRAIN: E, F to Lexington Ave; 6 to 51st St
