Crowning a Grand Central-area hotel where each guestroom floor is named after one of the ten major Dewey Decimal System categories, the Rooftop Bar is the tipsy offspring of corporate and literary culture. A fireplace and mahogany paneling project eighties Wall Street stateliness while the summery wooden deck chairs in the creme conservatory suggests a 1940s literary colony on the Cape. The demographic isn't quite so evenly split: Suited execs with loosened ties are more likely to mingle with casually attired Europeans abroad then bed-headed, rumpled-jacketed poets and publishers. On a rooftop garden that accommodates smoking (and is covered come winter), secondary perks include a solid wine list and elegant cocktails like the Chambord Royale which artfully blends Stoli Vanilla, Chambord and fresh grapefruit juice. Come and join us at Bookmarks for a rooftop experience like no other.
