If you believe in supporting local bars, discovering the best nightlife spots, and helping independent creators build something truly valuable, please consider donating to the NYCThirst GoFundMe campaign.
Why I Need Your Support
New York City is home to over 4,600 bars—each with its own unique vibe, story, and experience. But how do you find the perfect one? And how do bar owners connect with the patrons they’re looking for? That’s where NYCThirst comes in.
What is NYCThirst?
NYCThirst is the ultimate guide to NYC’s bar culture—a one-stop platform that bridges the gap between bar owners and nightlife enthusiasts. Whether you’re searching for hidden speakeasies, live music spots, cocktail lounges, or dive bars, NYCThirst will help you discover the best of what NYC nightlife has to offer. For bar owners, it’s an affordable and effective way to promote events, attract new customers, and drive foot traffic.
I’m on a mission to visit all 4,600+ bars in NYC and personally curate the most comprehensive, up-to-date bar guide available. But to make this dream a reality, I need your help.
By reaching my $150,000 GoFundMe goal, I’ll be able to dedicate a full year to working on NYCThirst—ensuring that it becomes the go-to platform for NYC nightlife. This means personally visiting every bar, collecting firsthand insights, building relationships with owners, and continuously updating the site with real-time event listings, promotions, and exclusive content.
How Your Contribution Helps
Your support goes directly toward: ✅ Covering the costs of visiting thousands of bars (travel, drinks, networking, research) ✅ Developing and maintaining the website to provide real-time updates ✅ Expanding NYCThirst’s reach so that more bars and patrons can connect ✅ Creating in-depth content, reviews, and personalized recommendations ✅ Ensuring that bar owners have a cost-effective way to advertise and promote their events
The Big Vision: A Thriving NYC Nightlife Community
With a scalable model and strong revenue potential, NYCThirst is designed to transform how people experience NYC’s bar scene. If just 2,000 bars become members, NYCThirst could generate over $3 million per year through memberships, ad placements, and event promotions—proving that this is not just a passion project, but a game-changing platform.
But first, I need to take the crucial first step: building the foundation.
Thank you for being a part of this journey! Let’s make NYC nightlife better, more connected, and more exciting—one bar at a time. 🍸🍻
