Next Move NYC Wants to Know Which Manhattan Bar Is Actually Happening
A planned nightlife app for checking live crowd levels, lines, cover charges, and vibes at more than 600 Manhattan bars and clubs.
Field notes
The proposed reporting system combines venue proximity, time limits, and repeat-vote updates: a report must come from within 0.3 miles, and reporting again after thirty minutes updates the user's vote rather than adding another one. The site describes a 6pm–6am operating window, neighborhood-level map bubbles, and a best-vibes ranking that requires at least two ratings. Venue listings draw on OpenStreetMap and public New York State Liquor Authority records.
