“I agree with the people who steered you *away* from Overstory. It's just hype. No reason to fight that hard to get into a spot where you'll be ass to elbows with people ogling the view and paying $30 for $18 cocktails.”

“I went to Saga/Overstory for NYE and it was awesome. Views were unbelievable and the service was excellent. It felt like they were friends hosting us and wanting us to have a really nice time instead of the super stiff, robotic service some places have”

“The appeal of overstory is the outdoor terrace but that’s no fun in the winter. Their actual indoor bar is small with limited views.”

“Considering it's a bar and an observatory as well (yes you can go outside with a drink), it was cold but very satisfying to watch the view, and that's where the cost becomes quite frugal-if you interpret the drink's price as an observatory entrance fee.”

“Crown Shy’s cocktails are just as good. The view is IMO the best rooftop view in NYC.”
H2
“Overstory or Manhatta would be properly celebratory, and no better view for an A+ martini.”

“The drinks were good, the bartenders put on a show etc, but the wraparound terrace in what was once the tallest building in downtown NY, it's crazy at night. There's food but we didn't have any.”
