Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, HI NYC Hostel offers a large communal kitchen perfect for late-night cooking or pre-concert meals. A café on-site serves snacks and beverages, and you’re within walking distance of plenty of casual eateries and corner delis. Guests especially love the flexibility to cook and eat on your own schedule.

Nightlife Options

The hostel hosts its own comedy nights, pub crawls, and variety shows—a great way to keep the energy going after a concert. If you're up for more, bars and lounges along Amsterdam Avenue and nearby Harlem offer a taste of local nightlife within walking distance.
