I almost don't want to write this review and keep the crowds away, but here was my experience: Drinks at the Garden at the Standard Hotel was a great experience. To keep the outdoor space available now that the winter weather has come, they put up little yurts with heat lamps in the garden. Somehow, magically, they're not packed. For a little while, you can imagine you're not still in NYC. Drinks were expensive and the service wasn't super attentive, but I had a great time with some friends and it was worth it to not be packed in to a space with tons of other people.
