When it comes to nightlife, such occasions as New Year’s Eve, Halloween, the Fourth of July and Memorial Day weekend are times when huge crowds are expected to fill area pubs, clubs and other hot spots. However, along with these major party points on the calendar, the night before Thanksgiving is just as key -- and this year, it falls on Nov. 27.
With college students home from school, off-Island family members in town and most people free from working the next day, the “Wednesday Before” is an annual undertaking known for packed dance floors, loaded taverns and barhopping.
So, if you are going to make a go of this nightlife tradition, here are some spots for those seeking a fine time the evening before tucking in to the turkey on Thursday (just anticipate some possibly higher-than-usual cover charges):
