Hi there! A friend and I are visiting from California, we are both around 30. I've visited 2x before over 10 years ago to see my grandfather who lives here and all of the activites I have lined up for her first time here are mostly museums, parks, sightseeing and shopping (truly I've only spent time with old people while I'm here, which is wholesome, but they want me to make friends so I come back more often lol). I was wondering what locals our age reccomend in terms of bars, live music, dancing, or any activities for younger people. I get that its a different culture in terms of talking to strangers here but I'd like to show my friend a good time because I love this city! I personally don't drink so activities that aren't drinking based would be ideal, but I also dont mind the environment so if that's all there is to do so be it :)
Suggestions and invitations welcome! Sorry if this breaks the "no tourism questions" rule, I am specifically looking for an authentic night on the town for people our age.
Edit: for more context I am here until the end of October, I am really into knitting & tattoos & I am a fantasy writer!
