A year ago today, the purples were celebrating at 230 fifths, one of New York's best rooftop lounges. It has an amazing view of the city but it is known for an excellent view of the Empire State Building which is very close by. We opted out doing anything touristy, so this was the closest thing we did, "viewing" the Empire State Building with martinis in our hands.
Strange how all the photos turned out weird. The heating lamps created this invisible haze that only appeared on camera. It was quite chilly even with the heating lamps on hence the red snuggie as you see some people are wearing. I heard 230 fifths is a great place for a party and has different atmosphere in the summer, but in the fall, it was rather cozy and relaxing (minus the cold wind).

Delicious ($14)
Seagram's Apple Vodka And Freshly Squeezed 'Delicious' Apple Juice 'The First Real Apple Martini'
Hot Black And Blue Cider ($12)

The drink prices are average considering the venue and the view. They also had food menu which was very simple and reasonably priced. We only had few drinks here and headed to the real party afterwards.
I really miss New York. It is much livelier that Toronto, much to do, to eat, to see.... etc. But I can't imagine living in New York, it must be so hectic. I am getting nostalgic. I think I am due for another visit to New York soon.
