Okey dokey, I am going to have this similar problem, but I'm going to have it next Thursday night. We are eating dinner with a friend and they will probably pick a restaurant someplace on the east side in the 60s. Where can we go after that for either some interesting comedy or an interesting crowd, given that I am too old to wait in line behind a velvet rope (but don't mind hopping into a cab to get there)?

If you like Jazz, go to a jazz club. Check Time Out or NY Magazine for listings.
If you'd like something, head for dinner to Little Korea, East 32nd St between 5th Ave and Broadway. Many restaurants are open 24 hours (my personal favorites for barbeque include Kum Gang Sang and Kang Suh).
If you have a Palm or Pocket PC, I highly recommend using Vindigo for giving names of places by distance from a particular location as well as directions for both public transportation and walking.
If you want a late night place which is less "hip" but still fun, there are many restaurants & hotels which have nice bars. Don't known if it is your taste, but Le Cirque 2000 bar gives you a sense of the main place and you can just have coffee, drinks, and/or dessert.

Honestly, just get out and walk. The bars in NY don't close until 4:00am so you'll be able to find plenty of things to do.
7th Ave. South area around Christopher St. is full of upscale restuarants, Jazz clubs and bars, Piano Bars, Karaoke Bars and regular bars.
The East Village, while a bit funky has a nice collection of Lounges and Bars - 1st Avenue - Avenue A from Houston up to St. Marks (8th Street) is the most lively.
Don't discount 9th Ave (Clinton/Hell's Kitchen area) in the upper 40's and lower 50's either for lounges and bars.
If you do plan to stay at the ES in Battery Park City, you can walk into Tribeca where you'll find... you guessed it - more bars and restaurants.
Enjoy your trip to my city.
