Roosevelt Island’s rooftop bar Panorama Area has sweeping sights of NYC
Roosevelt Island, the storied former household to NYC’s smallpox hospital and insane asylum, has its 1st-ever rooftop bar and lounge open to the general public.
Commencing on Friday, August 13, Panorama Space opens atop the recently opened Graduate Roosevelt Island hotel on the southern end of the island and the views are actually unparalleled — probably even the greatest of any rooftop lounge.
Located on the 18th flooring of the resort, the “jewel box” area by Med Abrous and Marc Rose, who are food items and beverage associates of the resort and co-founders of the hospitality group Connect with Mother, opens up to unbelievable views of the boroughs, the bridges and the East River, which glow like stars at night time.
Built by James Beard Award-profitable structure organization Areas and Labor Design, Panorama Area is visually dramatic. Its palatial vibes are established by magnificent velvet classic-impressed tubular lounge sofas, chrome and marble touches, mosaic tile columns and its huge, tubular acrylic chandeliers that hover earlier mentioned the massively long bar. It is really not only luxe but it truly is someway at the same time futuristic and retro.



Proposed: This new key backyard-influenced rooftop is the highest immersive club with a pool in NYC
The house is loaded with artwork from artists like Julia Chiang, Spencer Lewis, Alake Shilling, JPW3, Chris Martin, Brian Belott and Ida Eklbad, chosen by Venus About Manhattan partner Anna Furney and designer/imaginative director Darren Romanelli (aka Dr. Romanelli or DRx). Artist Sophie Parker and her botanical studio, Wife NYC, will also make personalized arrangements and sculptural artwork for the lounge. There’s even a custom-designed DJ booth designed in Normandy by Hervet Manufacturier and Cédric Hervet, the long-time inventive director for Daft Punk.
Of system, a rooftop bar has to have an remarkable menu…and Panorama Home promises to supply. It’ll all be led by women of all ages — Pink Rooster Harlem, executive chef Megan Brown (The Common and Ace Lodge alum) and beverage director Estelle Bossy will present “excellent updates” to martini-adjacent classics (i.e. lychee martini, apple martini and a draft espresso martini) as nicely as an extensive checklist of sparkling wines and fortified wines from Bossy all to be accompanied by a menu that is an “elevated ode to the sea.”


Graduate Roosevelt Island sits on the relatively new Cornell Tech campus and has 224 rooms across its 18-stories. The building was built by Snøhetta and Stonehill Taylor though its interior was made by Graduate Hotels’ in-residence staff. The group preferred to mix an aged-faculty feel with a far more new-age vibe, taking cues from Roosevelt Island’s historical past and the potential of technological innovation that the Cornell Tech campus embodies. Visitors are greeted by a 13-foot-tall sculpture of a boy in aviator goggles holding a lightbulb by artist Hebru Brantley known as “Flyboy.” He is situated in entrance of the check out-in desk made up of antique wooden drawers and a flooring-to-ceiling wall of guides.
Panorama Home isn’t the only neat place inside of the resort — one of its huge assembly rooms is identified as “The Loft” because it’s a room impressed by Josh Baskin’s bachelor pad in Large.
You can make a reservation at Panorama Home via Resy. It’s open Thursdays as a result of Sundays, 5pm-midnight on Thursdays, 5pm-2am on Fridays, 3pm-2am on Saturdays, and 3pm-midnight on Sundays. You can also follow alongside @panoramaroomnyc.
