5 o'Clock Somewhere Rooftop Bar

Times Square Margaritaville Resort Is an Unlikely Balm for a Restless Mind | Eater

"A two-story rooftop bar on the hotel’s top floors that promises sunset skyline views and plays a more refined take on tropical cocktails; drinks feature upscale ingredients (allspice dram, pineberry, yuzu, and an Earl Grey agave margarita called “W. 40th St & Agave”) and come with $15–$20 price tags. The interior is smooth midcentury-modern with aqua booths, fabric ferns, brushed-brass shakers and mellow live music inside, while the deck feels like a filter on Midtown chaos. The clientele skewed toward business-school types and reunion groups rather than hardcore fans, the bar’s kitchen and many food options open late, and the author found the 5 p.m. opening time frustratingly literal — stylish and sophisticated, but expensive and sometimes functionally limited." - Jaya Saxena
