"When you were an intern in Midtown, you and the rest of your training program would go to The Frying Pan to talk sh*t about your bosses. Now you work in Midtown, and you want an outdoor after-work spot to go with colleagues where you can do the exact same thing. Head to The Polynesian, a big indoor/outdoor tiki bar on top of the Pod Hotel near Times Square. It’s from the people behind Carbone and The Grill, and it’s a great spot to drink a flaming cocktail with rum and absinthe outside on a wraparound terrace." - matt tervooren
