We Are The Night is set in New York, as Gotham, chrome skyscrapers and brick warehouses, lurid clubs and dark alleys, subways and rooftops. But it's also a real working city with real working people, to contrast with the version that vampires see. Each side gets to see a different view of the city, and the world. The vampires are powerful, scary... and lonely.
The kids are unaligned, so there'll be lots of other solitary vampires pursuing selfish concerns, and the covenants will be gangs or cults, creepy and alienating. There will be Nosferatu in the sewers because there have to be, even though there will also be human-looking Nosferatu strolling around up top.
They'll need a formal Elysium (though they don't have a visible Prince) and the city has plenty of options. And an informal neutral ground in the Rack - I'm tempted to call it the Succubus Club for old times' sake.
