Hudson Bar

HELL'S KITCHEN. The appeal of this stunning bar extends far beyond hotel guests. More exactly, the Hudson Bar has remained a key part of the Hell's Kitchen scene since its debut, and the well-heeled, Euro-cool clientele the place attracts don't seem to mind dropping a few dimes in order to be seen here. The ceiling, painted by Francesco Clemente, gives the place a certain Louis XV quality that is juxtaposed with sleek, contemporary elements like a glass floor that is lit from underneath and furniture that'd make Kubrick grin with pride. Be sure to check out the rooftop patio garden, an impressive spot to be sure. TRAIN: 1, A, B, C, D to 59th St-Columbus Cir
