• Cocktail Bar • Chinatown

Booked 19 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+.

What an absolutely beautiful rooftop! There are options for both inside and outside seating - and given the overall atmosphere of both spaces, it’s really hard to choose between which one to sit! Otherwise, I think it was important to note that the noise level wasn’t at all obnoxious or too imposing on conversations, but sat at a perfect median given the otherwise lively energy of a SoHo-Manhattan rooftop. I can’t praise the ‘vibes’ enough in this regard. Our server, Jasmine (pardon any misspelling!) was a delight and delivered great presence at the table. One is tempted to feel lost and forgotten in such a bustling environment, but Jasmine never made us feel this way. Lastly, the food and drinks were fantastic: the Kiwi Swizzle and Strawberry Mai Tai are a must have; the chicken sandwich was an absolute dream with hearty tomatoes and a beautiful golden-brown breading, not otherwise forgetting the guacamole and chips and hamachi crudo which were stars in their own right.
