The Park
Despite all the talk about The Park’s three big fireplaces, there’s more to this tried and true hotspot than some burning logs. Though everyone raves about this spot’s sprawling outdoor area, which reminds people of this ownership team’s NoHo standard, B Bar, this isn’t just a fair-weather stop off the West Side Highway. And while the Mediterranean-influenced New American menu is serviceable, that’s not why you come here either. This modern classic’s an effective catch-all and it’s all about cocktailing. While the main level in this former parking garage (hence the name) is on the hip side of “leisurely,” the recently revamped, Asian-influenced, club-Zen lounge upstairs is faux scenester-ism at its most scene-y. Fashion Week and Halloween are strong times here, but average weekends often belong to investment bankers and B&Ts.

over-hyped

Someone definitely needs to add 'annoying door' to this bar's categories-- the skank commanding the velvet rope was one of the rudest people I've ever encountered in the bar/restaurant business. There's also a hot tub in the upstairs for every yutz who's aching to go diving for gonorrhea.

Gimendous

This place is so big -- I love the fact that you don't have to spend $1000 just to have a table and a good time. This is a place to come eat, drink and chill out without all of the glitz and glam -- just class.

Massive

Massive massive, with swanky decor. Draws in the rich young crowd without being too pretentious.

both worlds

The design of the park is much like its drinks, tasteful and expensive. The only bad thing tends to be the crowds that come here.
