The Empire Hotel Rooftop

Yes, this is the Empire Hotel from Gossip Girl. That should be reason enough to stop by for a Chuck Bass-approved drink. If not, consider 8,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, two bars, and a fireplace for cooler nights. Make sure to try their famous Empire Sunset cocktail.
