Hotel Bar · Upper East Side · 130 tips and reviews
Bruce Tilley: Fabulous NYC transition. Visit this bar as it's known for featuring top music talents.
Tiffany & Co: This is the real thing. A place for Gotham insiders. Gold leaf ceilings and enchanting murals by Madeline author and illustrator Ludwig Bemelmans. Arrive by 8pm and take a small table near the piano.
Travel Channel: At the only place where Bemelman’s art work is publicly displayed, Tony has a martini saying “a room like this calls for a classic.” As seen on Travel Channel’s The Layover with Anthony Bourdain.

Masarra Alameri: The service was average especially for it being the plaza ... the buffet breakfast just on weekends and the breakfast is scarce on menu .. blueberry pancakes are excellent
Brad Hager: Beautiful, elegant hotel full of history & nostalgia. GREAT food, martinis & wine. The Sunday brunch is AMAZING!! Get a room overlooking Central Park. Awesome chocolate shop downstairs, yummy 😄

Brad Hager: AWESOME VENUE for concerts & sporting events. LOVE watching basketball games here. Front row seats for Jimmy Buffet concerts (pic) amazing show!! Nice cold beer too. 😄
Rewan Parti: Best arena for concerts and games in the heart of NYC. It's a must visit for a sports event and a concert. If you haven't seen the energy of people in MSG, you haven't witnessed NY!
ESPN: See that prodigious gentleman styling and profiling courtside in an effervescent suit? That’s Walt “Clyde” Frazier. Regardless of what foursquare says, he’s the mayor here.

Aubrie Ahmadpour: As everyone has mentioned the burgers are the best...get there early, it’s worth it! Perfect and casual date spot.
Mari: Try not to let the crowdedness of this place scare you off. This is a soho staple and it's amazing. Sit at the bar or get a table in the back. Order everything.
Mari: Oh man, the burger au poivre is so good. One of the best burgers I've ever had. Only available at the bar and not even listed on the menu yet.
