Janet Patterson: Fabulous hotel overall: rooms are spacious & pristine, high-end finishes throughout, insane lobby & bars, perfect for schmoozing & the sexiest door men in the city :) Can't wait to come back!!

Lounge · Rockefeller Center · 48 tips and reviews
Stacy Jolly: One of the best views of Manhattan. It's worth the expensive cocktail; you get the view + a drink for the same price/view as Top of the Rock
Katsu Goto: Skip Top of the Rock, and enjoy scenic views of Manhattan and cocktails instead!! Elevators at mezzanine level are a little hard to find.
The New Yorker: “The sixty-fifth floor feels a bit like a dream: wraparound terrace, gorgeous views in all directions, a silvery geometric ceiling that looks like Gehry, or Georges Braque.” Read more.

American Restaurant · Rockefeller Center · 53 tips and reviews
David Milberg: Came for brunch. It was excellent. They have an open buffet as well as a menu to order off of. Come on a VERY empty stomach and with company so you can try a bit of everything. Staff was also amazing.
Gothamist: The legendary Rainbow Room is reopening today. There will be a festive Sunday brunch in addition to Monday night dinners with live performances open to the public. Sun, 10/5. Read more.
Meredith Blechman: The much-hyped re-opening did not disappoint. The space offers the most incredible view of the city that never sleeps. The staff was incredibly attentive - service rivaled a Danny Meyer restaurant

Nina Yiamsamatha: Perfect place to enjoy cocktails after a show at Radio City - a real midtown gem. You might be tempted to order every drink on the menu...
Serious Eats: At this intimate bar tucked inside the Iroquois Hotel you can sip wine or beer, but we suggest trying the carefully-made, retro-style cocktails.
Tian Xie: Reminds me of Bioshock Infinite, esp the music. Relive your time with Elizabeth with the select vigors and voxophone music here. 5% of ppl who see this will know what I'm talking about.
