"The Crown is the type of place where you might see someone walk in dressed in a full puffy NASA spacesuit (something we've actually witnessed). Pretty much anything goes at this rooftop bar on the 21st floor of the Hotel 50 Bowery in Chinatown. This spot has two outdoor areas with a huge indoor space in between where you and a few friends can dance while a DJ spins some Southern hip hop. Despite all the room, it can still get packed. Cocktails are $20, or you can get bottle service starting at $550 if your pseudo celebrity friend is paying." - bryan kim, neha talreja, kenny yang, molly fitzpatrick
