Club-like atmosphere with a direct view of the Empire State Building. I didn’t try the food, but the drinks are reasonably priced. A great place to enjoy the view and the vibe.

Every employee that we encountered was completely disinterested in interacting with us. From the doorman checking IDs, to the hostess (she at least talked to us), to the servers. We walked out within 5 minutes.
Crowds and Seating
The establishment gets extremely crowded, making it difficult to find tables or move around comfortably.

Very nice rooftop spot. It’s a two floor large spot with alot of outdoor room. Abit pricey but that’s common for rooftop bars like this.
