While most Empire City bars, nightclubs, fitness facilities and even supermarkets once stayed open until the wee hours, the pall of the pandemic modified the circadian rhythm of the city — shifting some 24-hour hotspots into sundown-to-sunset (or not a lot later) institutions.

“The pandemic shifted everyone’s priorities from the 2010s emphasis on ‘all night’ partying to enhancing the quality of their daily lives through health and fitness,” Heaven said. “But the longing to make connections with others didn’t leave, so NYC businesses have been getting creative with how we cater to this new group.”
For some NYC hotspots — like choose speakeasies, “sober bars” and saunas — this creativity has concerned inviting DJs into historically quieter areas, offering booze-free libations, and of course, extending business hours.
But as the Big Apple strikes additional out from under the thumb of COVID-19, Heaven predicts more city institutions of all sorts will observe swimsuit.
“People are staying out late again and trying to make more connections (that way),” said Heaven. “All of the supermarkets are staying open late again, there’s 24-hour saunas, amazing diners and delis. It really opens up more opportunities for those of us with late-night schedules … I have a feeling this summer is going to be one of the best in a long time.”
