230 Fifth Restaurant / Rooftop Bar / Rooftop Lounge

Chelsea / Flatiron, New York –

Sophisticated night owls looking for an upscale venue with breathtaking views won’t want to miss 230 Fifth, a luxurious lounge and rooftop bar that offers high-class excitement with a refreshingly unpretentious attitude.

Well-dressed business types and out-of-towners stepping off the elevator on the twentieth floor will find themselves in the candlelit Penthouse Lounge, a colorful indoor space with a restaurant, a sleek white-and-chrome bar, and a sea of tufted low sofas in purples, blues, and reds, usually occupied by stylish Europeans entertaining dates and uptown party girls sipping martinis to the beat of soft techno music.

Those who prefer their cocktails al fresco are in for a treat, as one of the biggest roof gardens in the city awaits up a short flight of stairs.

Towering palm trees, flowers, and foliage interspersed with park benches and patio chairs combine to create a natural wonderland, made all the more incredible by the panoramic view of the New York skyline in all its glittering glory.

Alcoves and private cabanas offer space for groups of successful city professionals to hobnob and schmooze, while weekends see a slightly older crowd of brunchers and lunchers showing up for afternoon cocktails.

Patrons stopping by in the winter needn't worry about missing out on the rooftop experience, as heat lamps and rolling racks of red robes and blankets are provided to keep the crowds toasty when the weather isn't.

For all its bright lights and luxury, 230 Fifth maintains a relaxed and amiable air and a policy of giving all its patrons the VIP treatment.
