4.2
Awesome(66)
Price: Moderate
• Cocktail Bar • Chinatown
Booked 33 times today
The Highlight Room’s real showstopper is the spectacular view of the city through a glass wall that spans the entire width of the room and folds back to allow access to the outdoor terrace. From there, guests can lift a cocktail to the expansive views — north to the Empire State Building, south to the Freedom Tower. The north and south sides of the room are lined with two-toned leather and velvet banquettes positioned to take advantage of the cityscape views from floor-to-ceiling windows.The bar, set off by wooden arches and antique mirrors, complements the greenery, and elaborate, candelabra-style chandeliers allude to the candles that would illuminate the German garden as evening fell. Layers of premium materials — plaster, brass, velvet upholstery, caramel drapery, terrazzo tiles — add a dose of playful luxury. Although the bar is open to the public, the overall sense is of a swank member’s club, a private Eden commanding the sky above the Lower East Side. Must be 21+.

    Bucket list lunch @ the famous New York restaurant nestled in Central Park! We took the subway from the 911 Memirial and got off on 66th street. Charming beautifully appointed building with outdoor and indoor seating. It was a bit warm for us- so we chose indoors-but were seated in an area that had a large glass atrium area! I am celiac with dairy free and oat free. My husband and I both selected the Cobb salad and it was full of grilled chicken, crispy bacon, fresh avocado as well as crisp lettuce, tomato, and egg. Refreshing red wine vinaigrette. I asked for some gf bread and received 2 pieces of bread that were so delicious I had to wonder if they were gf😉. We will return!!

    Lunch at Palma Was ABSOLUTELY outstanding! From the welcoming host greeting us when we came in to the flowers surrounding our table and ornate porcelain plates. Every detail makes you feel welcomed and cared for. The food is supremely fantastic with only the best locally sourced ingredients. I highly recommend the Pissaladiere, which is from the French side of the menu a savory Provencal tart and the tiramisu! Buon appetito and Bon appétit!
