Church Lounge @ the TriBeCa Grand Hotel: A see-and-be-seen scene, Church Lounge hasn’t faded with age. The long, swanky atrium adjacent to the hotel lobby can make you feel like a celeb or a spy, depending on how well you’re dressed. The huge space with tables and crevices scattered throughout offers plenty of room for sceney cocktailers. The minimalist décor is accented by bright colors here and there, and the custom glass cage elevators are fun to watch, if a bit evocative of the touristy Times Square Marriott. The giant open space is beyond perfect for people-watching, or, more appropriately, star-gazing. |
