230 Fifth Rooftop Bar — all mentions

“230 Fifth is a strong skip imo. Based on your plan to go to places like Pastis, it seems you’re interested in nicer spots. 230 Fifth feels like a cheap bar college bar. Gross, stained furniture, plastic cups, tacky AstroTurf covering the whole outside area.”

replying to u/blogterms: 230 5th has a good view of Empire state. But afai there’s no service at rooftop in December. Food’s decently good and great drinks.
“This place is objectively terrible. It does have a good view of the ESB but if the OP is older than 25 they will feel old af here. And no matter your age, this place is terrible.”

replying to u/atotalmess__: Skip 2 bros (search sub for much better nyc pizza), Skip crumbl (VC stupidity, and on the same note don’t even touch blank street coffee or maman), Skip 230 of rooftop (influencer rubbish), Los tacos is also in Chelsea market Dig inn is what we midtown/Fidi people eat for lunch as part of our salad/mix bowl rotation, skip that. (We also do sweetgreen, chopt, cava, naya, just salad…) Magnolia is meh, but cute if you want the photos Skip Grays papaya (schaller & Weber has the best bratwurst on pretzel bun)

replying to u/restlesswanderer23: Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve seen that one mentioned a number of times. I’m hoping for something a little more “special occasion” than that one. Looks like the view is great, but the drinks don’t seem like quite what I have in mind.
