Rose Bar
The uber-chic Gramercy Park Hotel is home to two swanky lounges. Once arriving to the hotel’s main lobby, the bar to your right, designed by artist Julian Schnabel, is the Jade Bar-- but that is not what you and your date are looking for. What you seek lies beyond the doorman and would impress any date looking for an elegant yet cozy cocktail lounge. While walking in may not be your best bet (the doorman arrives at 10 PM), you can submit reservation requests to Rosebar@gramercyparkhotel.com, giving the reservationist at least 24 hours prior notice. If Rose Bar’s Warhol and Schnabel prints that line the walls and stellar cocktails still do not impress your date, Rose Bar also offers a late night menu prepared by the chefs of Danny Meyer’s Maialino.
