Veg Night Out! Drinks at the Dream Hotel Downtown - Indoor Rooftop Lounge

Welcome to our monthly Veg Night Out!

It will be a perfect location for us to chill and enjoy the evening.

New York Magazine: “Decked out in mirrors, black marble, and strobe-lit prism glass chandeliers, PH-D is the Dream Downtown's throwback to an 80's penthouse… Twelve stories up, the real draw is the long narrow deck that spans the left side of the space with banquettes--some intimate for no more than three, some larger for up to twelve--overgrown plants, and one of the city's most spectacular views, facing north with clear shots of the Empire State Building and City skyscape…”

The Financial Times considers PH-D of Dream Downtown Hotel one of New York’s the best rooftop bars.: “…Dream Downtown is going to be a game-changer for the city’s hotel scene, and the roof-top bar PH-D (it stands for penthouse dream) is a significant part of that.

Zagat gives a 25 for atmosphere and 25 for décor: “Crowning Chelsea's Dream Downtown Hotel, this 'sleek and sexy' lounge is an education in the 'elite club scene' as 'rich men and the leggy girls they want to impress' get 'reckless with their credit cards' in chandeliered quarters equipped with an expansive terrace featuring 'killer' Midtown views; no surprise, it's also 'hard to get in.'"
