American nightlife is pretty dead compared to UK/Europe, But this was actually 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Odd hours.
Oh yeah, that definitely is weirder. It's like outside of busy hours. And before tea/dinner.
Not in a college town! I've seen entire restaurants sustained primarily drunks trying to sober up a bit and get some food in their bellies at bar time before stumbling home
I guess I'm thinking more of the nightclubs and weird art exhibitions and whatnot, every EU country I was in had events starting at 11 and going to 5am, which is pretty rare across the states even in larger cities. Or maybe it just seems like there were fewer events because they're so spread out geographically.
I feel like I'm Italy or Ireland, someone was always telling me there was a warehouse rave two blocks down or punk show that started at two am.
Huh I had no clue! I figured nightlife just meant bars and clubs but that sounds like Europe knows how to do nightlife far better!
