![]() ![]() During the course of our meal, I started to feel unwell. The reason however, for my 5 star review is because of how attentive and friendly the staff were when I unexpectedly had a funny turn when there. It had great views, the food was delicious and the drinks, although on the slightly pricy side, were very nice. During our stay, we went to the Magic Hour rooftop bar. My wife and I have just returned from our first trip to NYC. and if I was already drunk enough to enjoy it! Probably wouldn't return if I went back to NYC unless I was desperate to hang out at a rooftop bar and couldn't get in anywhere else. DJ played some good music - think chart RnB/dance.

The overall decor and aesthetic is very Instagrammable, pink neon everywhere with a floral carousel that doubles up as a table which is pretty cool - though I imagine you'd have to make a reservation well in advance to land that table. After finally managing to get served at the bar we paid around 40 dollars for a vodka & coke and a bottled beer - this came as a bit of a surprise!

When we walked out onto the roof it was overwhelming to say the least. ![]() The door staff basically ignored us at first which was a little awkward - you're then led up to the bar past a couple of different host checkpoints, none of which were friendly or at all welcoming. ![]() Myself and my boyfriend visited on Thursday night at around 10.30.
