New York City Recs

Bougie cocktail bar taking mixology and craft cocktails to the next level

Stunningly gorgeous French restaurant with expansive atrium vibes

Gorgeous rooftop bar views of lower Manhattan

Considered to be New York’s “most authentic Irish pub” — and it is!🍀 🎉

Formerly the famed Boom Boom Room, the 270-degree views spanning from the Empire State Building, down lower Manhattan, and across the river into New Jersey are draw enough. Pair that with the chic-yet-cozy ambience replete with designer fireplace, an elevated cocktail menu, and a clientele mixed between it-girl 20-somethings, investment bankers in ties lingering at the bar, the occasional gaggle of dressed-up suburban mid-30s out for a thrilling night on the town, and you’ve nailed the experience. After all, a cocktail menu with these prices doesn’t beckon your fellow IKEA-shopping Gen Z and young Millennials — for a fun, laid back (and NYC-affordable) vibe, head downstairs to the Standard Beer Garden. The service is, of course, exceptional. The bathrooms are surprisingly worth writing home about if only for their floor-to-ceiling windows. And, despite (or perhaps because) it’s always so packed, it’s easy to feel like you’re having your own intimate experience among the glow. Call ahead to book a sunset table and thank me later 😉.
