Somewhere Nowhere NYC is a captivating two-level lounge and rooftop pool with stunning city views, live jazz, and vibrant nightlife that immerses you in luxury.
"If you’re going big this year, Somewhere Nowhere’s set-up is the most impressive one on this list. The rooftop bar has a killer view, live jazz, and heated teardrop-shaped igloos with tables for two. Those eating in the igloo are served a four-course prix fixe—and the $450 per couple price tag also includes a bottle of Veuve Clicquot and complimentary eternal flower from Venus Et Fleur. Indoor diners get a three-course prix fixe with a gift from La Maison Du Chocolat. Expect charcuterie, lobster rolls, and wagyu sliders. Make your reservations here. " - Neha Talreja
"Neon lights, custom gnome sculptures, and a state-of-the-art sound system all contribute to the EDM-festival feel at Somewhere Nowhere, a two-story indoor lounge and open-air rooftop on the 38th and 39th floor of the Renaissance New York Chelsea Hotel. Bottle service and very loud DJ sets start at 10pm—but if you make a reservation before their late-night service starts, it feels a little more wholesome. Stop by on the earlier side, and you might be able to catch a live jazz band, some aerial performances, or burlesque for no extra cover charge. The actual rooftop is a bit more sleek than the indoor space (less neon, more neutrals), and it has a pool for you to enjoy cocktails around. " - Bryan Kim, Neha Talreja, Kenny Yang, Nikko Duren
"We’re lucky to still have more than a handful of jazz clubs in NYC, but very few of them have decent dance floors. When you want to do more just sit in the shadows wishing you could still smoke inside, go to Gotham Jazz night at Somewhere Nowhere. Starting at 5pm on Wednesdays, you can head over to the Chelsea rooftop bar for a live band, DJs, and a series of burlesque and aerial performances. The outdoor pool area will also be open for drinks. More info and reservations here. " - neha talreja
"Your friend used to be a lot more fun. Now, they insist that they need a kid-free night, but every time they're with you, all they talk about is their kids. At Somewhere Nowhere in Chelsea, you'll both be too preoccupied with the gnome sculptures, the view from the open-air rooftop, and the very loud DJ sets to do a lot of conversing. Even if you meet up here before the DJ starts, there might be a live jazz band or a burlesque show happening." - kenny yang
"Neon lights, custom gnome sculptures, and a state-of-the-art sound system all contribute to the EDM-festival feel at Somewhere Nowhere, a two-story indoor lounge and open-air rooftop on the 38th and 39th floor of the Renaissance New York Chelsea Hotel. This is a bottle service destination where bouncers can justify keeping you in purgatory downstairs—but if you make a reservation before their late-night service starts, it feels a little more wholesome, and you won’t see anyone other than the waitstaff in bodycon dresses. The indoor lounge looks a bit like a bedroom oasis a teenager would dream up, complete with puffy paper mache clouds, a giant hummingbird, and a dance floor lit with purple lighting. The actual rooftop is a bit more sleek (less neon, more neutrals), and it has a pool for you to enjoy cocktails around. Bottle service and very loud DJ sets start at 10pm, and if you’re into that type of rooftop party, you should know there’s a hundred dollar minimum, and reservations are mandatory. But we’ve had a surprisingly good time here when it's less sloppy. Stop by on the earlier side, and you might be able to catch a live jazz band, some aerial performances, or burlesque for no extra cover charge." - Neha Talreja
