Despite its across-from-Lincoln-Center location and chicly renovated Lobby Bar, the Empire Hotel doesn’t have much of a reputation as a hot gathering spot. But we’re betting that will change quickly when its rooftop lounge opens to the public around May.
Details are scarce – we can only confirm that the space has been leased by Jeffrey Chodorow's China Grill Management, which plans to renovate it. They hope to make more information public soon. Meanwhile, check out these photos from the hotel’s website and picture yourself sipping a cocktail by the glow of the hotel’s iconic sign.
