230 5th Avenue...

After stuffing our faces with pizza we got in a cab and went up to 230 5th Avenue. We showed our ID to the man on the door, and walked over to the lifts, got in, pressed the button for the 20th floor and zipped up... When we got out onto the 20th floor a lady asked us if we'd like a table, which we did, so she asked us to follow her up some steps and through a door, so we did. As we walked through the doors, this was what greeted us...

It's a rather swanky roof top bar with the most fantastic views of the Empire State Building (and all the other surrounding buildings). The terrace was filled with patio heaters and tall tables and chairs and the walls had lots of twinkly fairy lights in them. There were rails full of red robes for people to wear if they get too cold, and each table had a blanket by it too.

(You can see the robes to the right)

It had a very interesting and varied mix of customers, some old, some young, some yuppie types, some tourists, some classy looking, some sleezy looking... and us. We all ordered different cocktails - Jonny had a Raspberry Mojito (which tasted like the ground), Abi had a Go Man Go (a bright yellow Martini made with Van Gogh Mango Vodka - hense the name) and I had a Cherry Coke (Coke and Cherry Vodka) - all of which were yummy.

  1. Jonny will be going back with some fantastic memories and tales to tell everyone in the office. Hope he can come back soon. Now you'll have some A&O time.
