Honoring Bon Appétit’s 2021 Heads of the Table | Bon Appétit

"A sleek rooftop venue in New York City that hosted Bon Appétit's 2021 Heads of the Table cocktail party and seated dinner, offering skyline views and an elegant atmosphere. Its culinary director, Sofia Schlieben, collaborated with three mentees from a mentorship program to craft the drinks and hors d'oeuvres menu; the cocktail hour featured sunchoke pierogi with sunflower-seed romesco, fried pork rillette with apple-and-mustard chutney, and a guest-favorite peaches-and-herb specialty cocktail. Guests later moved to the roof deck for a seated dinner under the night sky, beginning with a burrata course topped with roasted and pickled mushrooms, and the space served as a setting for honorees and industry figures to mingle." - ByJenna Adrian-Diaz

Cool rooftop lounge, the views are nice as socializing having a great views of the city. The cocktails wise half the the cocktails were really good. Even with the bartender choice if you like a surprise. Having a green house area with seating any blankets, so you don’t have to exactly sit outside when it’s windy/colder at night. Cool spot to check out and meet more mature crowd.

Went to a corporate event hosted by Dell and Intel. Thank you for hosting your clients it was very refreshing to see your reps face to face. Event staff members were super attentive, food was very good my favorites were veggie rolls, brownie, some fried balls appetizers yum. However the views of the Hudson were breath taking look at pictures and judge for yourself. Wow

Very nice lounge with scenic views of nyc. Nice pool in the middle. Very open space . Loved that it wasn't crowded. There is one Fire place. Different style of seats you can sit and enjoy the view in. Both indoor and outdoor rooftop views. Beautiful interior and exterior with great ambience and atmosphere. Not enough food options. Drinks are very expensive. Loved the espresso martini!

We were finally able have our wedding dinner at the Press Lounge, and it was absolutely amazing! They have been working with us for almost 3 years, been so flexible and helpful rescheduling due to COVID. They went above and beyond to accommodate us and to make this day very special. The venue has breathtaking views, the food was great, and people are still talking about the incredible wedding cake. We will definitely come back to celebrate anniversaries 😊

Such beautiful views here of the city and the Hudson River. The vibe is good, with upbeat music. Crowded on a Saturday evening, yet fun. The lovely lighted rooftop pool is surrounded by a seating wall and provides romantic lighting, second only to the views of the city. Service is slow, and it's hard to get served at the bar. Bathrooms are upstairs. It's a terrific option for a fun night out or a nightcap after a show.

This bar has the most spectacular view of any place that I have visited in the New York City area. The staff is very accommodating and pleasant! In my opinion, the prices are reasonable taking into consideration the views that are available. The summer time is the best time to visit, however the views and accommodations are amazing all year round. Definitely take a good cell phone or camera along! Do not pass up visiting this place next time you are in the area.

Truly stunning and no words can do this view justice. Highly recommend an advanced reservation and select a table outside. Don't fear the minimum as you will spend with ease and it is worth every penny. The vibe is electric and worthy of being matched with the view and landscape. This is IMHO the best possible combination of everything you could want for an evening with your significant other. Plan on using the full 90 minutes and don't be in a rush.

Best rooftop lounge with an amazing view, drinks were great. Love atmosphere and the setting, nice sitting lounge inside by the bar as soon as you walked in. It was impressive, as soon as you walked outside, the whole rooftop space was camera worthy, breathtaking and I can't stop talking pics. I stayed for sometimes because I really enjoyed it. I visited a few other rooftop lounge and I didn't even stay because of the setting and the view was nothing to compare. Will come back again!
