Upscale rooftop bar with Central Park views, craft cocktails
"Perched 47 floors above Central Park with a rare south-end park view, this penthouse rooftop mixes playful cocktails with refined small plates. The drink program features edible jelly cocktails in flavors like Mezcal Negroni and Strawberry Daiquiri, a sophisticated Dirty Shirley incorporating Veuve Clicquot and orange blossom water, and an inventive martini menu (including an escargot-topped Grey Goose and an olive-oil-washed gin). Shareable cocktails for the table set a festive tone, while snacks such as wagyu skewers, gougères with ham, and a cheese plate round out the menu." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
"If you want to know what kind of view you could have if you threw a couple hundred million dollars at a penthouse on Central Park South, head to this rooftop bar on the 47th floor of the Park Lane New York. Darling has a central lounge area and an enclosed, covered patio with lots of greenery and a DJ playing disco and funk. That patio is where you’ll get the best views as you sip on a creamsicle cocktail and snack on bites like crispy chicken sliders and basil arancini." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman
"Sean Brock's first West Coast restaurant on Robertson Boulevard centered on seasonal ingredients prepared over a live-fire grill, accompanied by an adjoining cocktail bar that will spin vinyl and serve cocktails over a hi-fi sound system; the project reflects Brock's focus on Southern cuisine and heritage-driven cooking." - Matthew Kang
"Want to see what kind of view you could have if you threw a hundred million dollars at a penthouse on Central Park South? Head to this rooftop bar on the 47th floor of the Park Lane New York hotel. Besides the views, you'll find an awning-covered patio with lots of greenery, and a DJ. It's one of your nicer options in the area for a $24 cocktail and some spicy chicken sliders or basil arancini." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah, tiffany yannetta
"A cocktail bar and dim sum spot opening in Central Square this May from industry veterans, led by Brian Callahan (alum of Tiger Mama, Orfano, and Row 34) and Zimu Chen (formerly of Eastern Standard and Coje Group spots), occupying the former home of Chinese American mainstay Mary Chung. Executive chef Mark O’Leary—whose résumé includes O Ya, Shojo, and JM Curley—will lead the dim sum menu, positioning the project as a notable newcomer in the neighborhood’s dining and drinking scene." - Erika Adams
