New York, New York – the city that never sleeps! With so many bars across the city, it can be a little overwhelming and you don't want to end up in a tourist hangout. During a recent visit to the Big Apple, The Luxury Travel Bible caught up with Moxy Hotels’ Director of Culture, Michael Fragoso to get the insider’s guide to some of NYC’s coolest bars.
Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge
1. Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge – I, of course, have to plug the best rooftop in NYC, just on top of Moxy Times Square. Pro-tip is to come early and hop on the spinning carousel. www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/nycox-moxy-nyc-times-square
2. Sake Bar Hagi – This is probably my Second favourite and is a big secret in Times Square, it’s like being transported to Japan. www.sakebarhagi.com
3. Dutch Fred’s - They have great Broadway themed cocktails – try the ‘Kinky Boots’! www.dutchfreds.com
Three Pillars
4. Three Pillars – Another ‘secret’ bar that is so secret it doesn’t even have an address, just coordinates - N°114W 47 NY 10036 www.suzukinyc.com/three-pillars
5. Aldo Sohm Wine Bar - This is one of my favourites in all of New York. My friend Aldo is the sommelier at Le Bernadin and he opened this cosy little wine bar that has great cheese boards and the best selection of hard to find wine by the glass. www.aldosohmwinebar.com
6. Reunion Bar - Tiki themed cocktails, what else do you need? www.reunionbar.com
Tanner Smith’s 7.
Tanner Smith’s - A very cool prohibition style joint
www.tannersmiths.com8.
Bea – Known for their tapas, but they have a wonderful garden and great cocktail list
www.beanyc.com
NY Beer Company
9. NY Beer Company – A stock exchange themed beer hall, definitely a must visit when in the city www.nybeercompany.com
10. Pig And Whistle – Don’t tell anyone, but if we aren’t at the Moxy’s Magic Hour, we’re likely to be found here www.pignwhistleon36th.com
