Top of the East Lounge

I believe the Top O' The East is now closed due to the hotel undergoing renovation after being sold to a chain.

The epitome of wasted potential. The location and view are well worth 5 stars, but everything else is severely lacking. The service is often dismal. The decor is pathetic. The lighting with the bright white lamps ruins what could be a swanky lounge feel.  Please get some assistance from an interior designer!

I'm a local and would like to be a regular here, but they just miss the mark on too many points. They should take some lessons from the bar staff at another local hotel where the bar is in the basement, yet it rocks. Top of the East is on the roof with a view and can't make locals or hotel guests happy. Get your act together!

Great place for a quiet drink at the end of the day.

The selection of drinks is good, but seemed expensive to me. Am I just that good at finding drinks in my current hometown of NYC? I dunno. Expensive, but the drinks were very, very strong. Knock you off your ass in half a drink sort of strong.

The view is expansive. Too bad the new renovations will probably ruin it.
