During our adventures in the Meatpacking district my friend insisted we pay a visit to The Top of…read moreThe Standard for the amazing view. We got there shortly after they opened (4 pm), so it wasn't busy. On your way to the rooftop you'll pass through a nightclub, which reminded me of a discotheque reminiscent of Studio 54. According to my friend, it doesn't get hopping until later and good times are had. There is a jacuzzi inside, so I can only imagine the wild antics that occur. I would have absolutely been a regular here back in the day. The Rooftop is spacious with plenty of places to chill & relax. I ordered a Cucumber Limonade $16 (Vodka, Cucumber, Lime, & Elderflower). It was crisp & refreshing. Perfect for this beautiful sunny day. My friend was right. The view was stunning - with sweeping views of the city and the harbor. It was so nice to be so high up above the bustling city without a care in the world.

He seems to rely heavily on the hotel's reputation from 20 years ago rather than focusing on today's guest experience. His approach often comes across as outdated, with comments that begin with phrases like, "Back in my day..." or "It was better when we..." Past success is valuable, but it shouldn't replace a commitment to continuous improvement. It may be time to focus less on how things used to be and more on delivering the level of customer service that guests expect today.

The portions were so large that (unfortunately) I had no room for desserts which were mouth watering). Met the owner (Christina) who was very friendly, and our waitress (Maria) was just as friendly and attentive! The ambiance is an inviting, comforting, have fun kind where you feel right at home even if that means there are various groups dining at tge same time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!

Standard overpriced drinks and too-drunk-to-stand crowd. Not surprising given the promoters who…read moreregularly pick fights with guests. The bouncers find themselves bossed around by the promoters and the promoters find themselves bossed around by the belligerent people they sell bottle service to. One promoter--an excessively power-tripping one--told several girls in line they were ugly so couldn't get in (after feeling up one of the girls' backsides), and one of the girls shot back that he needed his job to talk to girls like her. If you're looking for a good time, I'd say skip this place. Classiness is not part of their MO. Music was okay, but nothing great. A little less than 1/3 of the crowd were actually dancing. We didn't stay long, obviously. A shame, because it's a cool space and would have potential, if they didn't let self-absorbed yet insecure promoters call the shots.

It has been 17 years since my last review of the Living Room Bar, and I am not sure that I have…read moreeven been there since. However, they recently revamped the space, updating the decor to ensure that the W Hotel remains at the forefront of modernity. The small, linear bar was moved from one side of the room into the center and was now a larger, semi-circle to make it easier to converse with neighboring imbibers. The space maintained its lounge feel, with couches and comfortable chairs scattered around the bar. A main change was that, instead of the Living Room being visible to anyone that walked into the hotel lobby, it was now hidden behind a translucent wall of lights, only visible to those that entered. That change enabled the bar to be more exclusive, or "discreet", as we heard someone mention at the bar, haha. The place was reasonably crowded on the Friday evening, and we grabbed seats at the bar in order to be more social. To that end, we had some interesting conversations with both locals and hotel guest. Also, our bartender, Jose, was excellent! He was engaging to speak with and also crafted fantastic cocktails. The Espresso Martini he made for me had a very robust coffee flavor and just the perfect hint of sweetness; it was definitely up there on my list of top espresso cocktails. The bar had a list of really creative and unique drinks, and I had initially wanted to try the Kyoto Bridge with Haku vodka, sake, ceremonial matcha, and yuzu, but Jose had told me that he did not have the necessary sake for it. However, he assembled my martini with such perfection that I did not mind having a more basic drink on that visit; I could always go back to try the Kyoto Bridge and certainly will after such an enjoyable experience!
