On the edge of west side midtown Manhattan, this dual floor venue boasts an exclusive modern space with all-season indoor and outdoor use suitable for a multitude of private events. On the second floor, The Salon mimics the design of a nightclub with a hint of old-world opulence, decked with a DJ booth, low slung leather couches, a built-in bar and an adjacent dimly lit terrace. The sprawling, breezy rooftop terrace on the third floor resembles a hip hotel with fantastic wrap-around views of the Hudson, heated floors for year-round events and a cabana like haven where falling back into the garden lounge chairs while sipping a sunset cocktail could induce sheer city bliss – and the best thing is, it’s all yours.
I’ve had a crush on you since I moved to NY. And eight years later, you are still winning me over. If it was not the witty and personable barman then, it’s the same youthful spirited (though grown up) barman now. If it not from the grilled octopus with limoncello vinaigrette or the sweet summer corn “farrotto” then, it’s assuredly from the spicy sausage mint love letters that you are serving me now. If it not a most momentous pairing of braised oxtail ravioli in brown butter paired with sweet Oloroso sherry then, it’s the outstanding, unexpected goose liver ravioli, doused in balsamic vinegar to the tinge of burnt, paired with 2001 Vin Santo now. The cool and understated older brother – handsome, confident, adventurous and unequivocally timeless, you inspire an evening of self-appreciation and worthy indulgence – don’t change a thing.
