A trip to the (other) city...the hudson bar @ the hudson new york hotel @ 356 West 58th Street...
Well this bar certainly is beautiful. Luminescent glass floors light the indoor space, the (rather low hanging) ceiling was hand painted, Sistine Chapel style, by the artist Francesco Clemente. And, although, I was not willing to brave the bitter cold in a dress, tights and heels to verify this, the bar is rumored to have one of the nicest rooftop gardens in the city. Maybe in a couple of months, New York, when it's above freezing or my blood thickens a little bit after moving back to the Northeast.Despite the obvious coolness of the space, there are some other pros. It's a great people watching spot. Though, it might be running out of it's "still cool" factor, it's still enough of a hot spot to be picky with clientele. That said, and it could have just been the particular night, they love them some cougars. Men working the door, if a good looking lady with bee-stung lips and too-tight $300 jeans wanders in with a 22 year-old up-and-coming actor type dude....just say no. But then again, i get a kick out of watching these could-be Woody Allen movies unfold in front of me on a Friday night.
CONS: The music is good but loud. If you want to talk to anyone (friends/date/aforementioned 22 year olds, try the Library -- their other, smaller, quiter space. I've also heard that, sometimes, bouncers forget that it's not got the clout it once had and can be a teensy bit rude @ the door but I didn't have any trouble getting in. Wear a nice dress or bring a girl in a nice dress and I think you're good to go...
