If there's one thing even the most jaded New Yorkers don't get sick of, it's a good city view. And Stone Rose Lounge's got that in spades. Nightlife impresario Rande Gerber's 6,000-square-foot lounge of dark wood, soft leather and large windows overlooks Central Park from the east, making the city itself feel a part of your intimate soiree, albeit from four floors up. Refreshingly calm and cozy despite its location in the Time Warner Center, Stone Rose Lounge is perfect for most any occasion — first dates, pre-theater, or reminiscing with old friends. A menu of light nibbles keeps tiny appetites sated, but for a real meal, head to Bar Masa, one of the notable restaurants located in the building that won't drain your bank account.
