Who knows New York City better than ... New Yorkers? A few Manhattanites reveal what they love about their city at night.

Los Angeles [7:14]
Download
After New York, Los Angeles is the most populous city in America, with nearly 13 million people – no wonder traffic is so bad! Locals on both coasts have a long-standing debate over which is better: New York or LA? When it comes to nightlife, both are heavy contenders – even if LA is notorious for shutting down at 2 a.m. Reporter Apryl Lundsten discovered there are still plenty of things to do in Los Angeles before last call.

London [6:09]
Download
London is a modern metropolis made up of dozens of picturesque villages – some as ancient as Canterbury Tales. Evolved from settlements and manor houses, these boroughs have turned into urban neighborhoods, bustling with nightlife. Reporter Laurel Moglen talked with a London travel expert to find out what Londoners do – after hours.

New Orleans [8:33]
Download
Known as the birthplace of jazz, New Orleans starts jumping as soon as the sun sets. Bourbon Street is more crowded at 9 p.m. than 9 a.m. – which is when most people are sleeping off the effects of a night of fruity drinks. If you've been putting off going to New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina, you should know that tourism has rebounded and most of the city's hot spots have reopened. Reporter Apryl Lundsten tours The Big Easy.
