Seeing the city with a bird eye view was breathtaking. Being so close to the Chrysler building watching the rose gold light of the setting sun reflect off of The Chrysler building made it even more beautiful!! The staff was extremely helpful. And the pastrami sliders, mediterranean plate and cocktails were delicious! A definite must see when in New York City
