"The new cocktail menu at this hotel bar pays homage to six iconic New Yorkers through 18 cocktails and six zero‑proof drinks that tell each luminary’s story. Drinks are highly conceptual and ingredient‑driven—After Hours riffs on truffle focaccia with a mix of Never Never Triple Juniper Gin, Cocchi Americano and Salers Gentiane finished with a fried cheddar crisp, while Golden Hour blends rockmelon osmanthus syrup, Belvedere Smogory Forest Vodka, lavender bitters, bitter orange and elderflower tonic to evoke Vera Wang’s aesthetic—resulting in theatrical, personality‑led cocktails meant to be sipped and savored." - Joy Fang and Alexandra Karplus
