• Cocktail Bar • Chinatown

Booked 24 times today

The Highlight Room’s real showstopper is the spectacular view of the city through a glass wall that spans the entire width of the room and folds back to allow access to the outdoor terrace. From there, guests can lift a cocktail to the expansive views — north to the Empire State Building, south to the Freedom Tower. The north and south sides of the room are lined with two-toned leather and velvet banquettes positioned to take advantage of the cityscape views from floor-to-ceiling windows.The bar, set off by wooden arches and antique mirrors, complements the greenery, and elaborate, candelabra-style chandeliers allude to the candles that would illuminate the German garden as evening fell. Layers of premium materials — plaster, brass, velvet upholstery, caramel drapery, terrazzo tiles — add a dose of playful luxury. Although the bar is open to the public, the overall sense is of a swank member’s club, a private Eden commanding the sky above the Lower East Side. Must be 21+.

The service was absolutely phenomenal, yet again! Perfect for the Holidays! The Hostesses were friendly and welcoming - they read my notes which I appreciated. Our server was the cherry on top, knowing exactly what drink I wanted without any explanation—most places, I have to describe what a Kerryoael is, but he nailed it right away. Loved that little detail. Plus, getting extra salted nuts was a fun little bonus! I’ll definitely be back again!

First timers to NYC.. we had brunch due to having a minor in our party.. the location was easy, getting into the actual eating area was adventurous and fun. Service was great, food was great. Be aware the seating is unconventional, low with no seatback and the prices are 💲💲. Would recommend.

I had been curious to try Penthouse on Park for some time, and am glad that I finally did. The space is beautiful and has the loveliest views. I sat in the lounge area - it was nice and comfortable. The guacamole tostada and hummus were both delicious. The mini lobster rolls were amazing. And the chocolate chip cookie sandwich was fantastic. My sever Kevin was terrific and the prices were very reasonable. I would definitely recommend.
