210 W. 55th St [Penthouse] NYC
Perched high above Times Square, there is no denying the voyeuristic qualities of this room. Surrounded by apartments and offices, the fetish of watching people that don’t know they’re being watched is well fed.
One also gets to enjoy the plastic and neon obscenities of NY from a safe distance. Let the tourists deal with the bustle while you drift into the muted grays, subtle splashes of color and perfect martinis.
They serve up a nice mix of music as well. Music that is at a volume that saves the throat from yelling.
This is also one of very few rooms to not be adversely affected by the new smoking ban in NYC. It’s roof top terrace is perfect for the discriminated smoking community.
The beautiful and friendly staff, from the bartenders to the bus boys, is a nice change from the NYC norm of rude is fashionable.
I highly recommend this room for parties, after work cocktails or a romantic night out.
