9/8 Update: We will have a great time on the rooftop for sure. It doesn't matter whether the weather agrees or not. If there is no rain, that's great! If it rains, that is when we will learn to dance in the rain.... just kidding If it rains, our exclusive area will be covered with the retractable roof Looking forward!

5) About the Rooftop

Located on the 12th floor of the Empire Hotel, this swanky 8,000-square-foot rooftop haven offers stunning views of Manhattan’s Upper West Side, including Columbus Circle, Central Park, Broadway, and the Hudson River. The rooftop is divided into three areas (an enclosed penthouse lounge and east and west terraces). With inviting lounge seating both indoors and out, this new addition features some of the hottest cocktails in town. Access to the rooftop is available from the elevators located by the hotel entrance. We will be gathering at the East Terrace.

Here are some pictures

Needless to say, we will have a blast on September 10th. Please spread the words. Your friends are welcome and they will thank you for letting them know about our group.
