I am a native New Yorker and will keep to the directness of how we are known to be :)
Food: Excellent.
Drinks: Great.
Space: Rooftop bar! Really beautiful views of the Empire State Bldg! Very open and intimate floor layout. It has a retractable rooftop, so it is open even if it rains :)
Scene: It is a sexy and sleek rooftop bar. It is an open layout that is conducive to mixing and mingling, but small. Good for get-togethers, date night, and a great place to take visitors (since it's a few blocks from the Empire State Building). Mostly an afterwork crowd (finance and corporate types) and it does get packed.
Crowd: 20-40s Afterwork crowd. Pick-up scene. Single scene.
Service: Very good. Super friendly, courteous, and attentive staff.
