"Downtown hotel bars can be a yawn. And if you’re not in the mood for bad riesling in a glass so thick that it requires two hands to hold, we don’t blame you. That’s why The Nest exists. This rooftop has comfortable sofas that sink when you sit on them, waterfront views with the perfect angle for watching the ferris wheel spin, and overpriced-but-refreshing cocktails served in metallic flamingo mugs. This is where to dress up, drink outside, and not feel silly for it." - aimee rizzo
