Try to get yourself a liquor license in certain sections of lower Manhattan. Unless you're paying an experienced, and expensive, attorney to help you navigate the process, and are willing to jump through hoop upon hoop for months, if not years, it simply isn't going to happen.

Very true with the Manhattan aspect, however New York has many districts whereby its known to be a night destination with nightlife and a vibrant atmosphere. There is literally no need for more in New York or any of the other cities I have even commented on. Here in Calgary, there are none. `There is no vibrant area at night, 17th itself isnt that busy at all in reality, even in the middle of summer its dead and not many people out. Point is, Calgary is definitely not known for any sembance of night life.
Perhaps its the mental aspect here, whereby alot of people get married, have kids and stay home?
