We had a great time at The Crown, the rooftop bar at Hotel 50 Bowery. Enjoying a drink and a bite while taking in what might be the best 360-degree view of Manhattan is something special. You can clearly spot iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and One World Trade Center, along with the Brooklyn Bridge, the Hudson River, and even parts of the skylines of Jersey City and Brooklyn.
The view from the crown is breathtaking, and the ambiance is perfect for unwinding with a drink after a tiring day in New York. The service was satisfactory, though we arrived an hour before closing, so we couldn’t indulge in the food. We’ll definitely return during the day to witness the stunning sunset. 🌅
Stopped by The Crown the other night and had a great time. The space has a really polished, intimate vibe and the cocktails were seriously good. Huge shoutout to Sarah behind the bar, who was friendly and clearly experienced. She even let me sample a cocktail when I wasn’t too sure about the flavor, which saved me from trying something that wouldn’t have been to my taste. It’s service like that that makes a place memorable. I definitely want to come back for some of the more lively events they
