"This rooftop bar atop the Pod Hotel 42 opened in late May with some serious offerings: a huge rum collection, sweeping views of Midtown, and luxe details like a 30-foot lava rock bar. Cocktails from ZZ’s Clam Bar alum and tiki renaissance maestro Brian Miller are pretty far out, with one served in a fish bowl and another, The Exotica, in a huge clamshell smoking at the sides with dry ice." - Marguerite Imbert
