City That Never Sleeps
Round-the-clock town
A nickname for New York City, referring to its round-the-clock activity—streets, subways, restaurants, and entertainment venues that remain busy at all hours.
The phrase captures the city's relentless energy and the sense that something is always happening: We wandered through Manhattan at 3 a.m.—it really is the city that never sleeps.
