3. A Southern Crawl | 7:30 p.m.
3. 徐徐向南 | 晚上7:30
Begin at the Plaza. Skip the buzzy Champagne Bar in the lobby and climb the stairs to the more-intimate Rose Club, where plush chairs are ideal for tête-à-têtes. A Bloody Mary costs $23, but, hey, you can almost make a meal of free nuts and popcorn. (The Plaza Food Hall is a great place to pick up pastries and other treats to eat in the park.) Then walk west along Central Park South, peeking into the windows of bars to see what pulls you in, from Whiskey Park to the bar at South Gate restaurant in the J W Marriott Essex House. When you reach the Museum of Arts and Design, go to the ninth floor, where you’ll find Robert, a restaurant and lounge with live piano music and views of Columbus Circle. Across the street at the Time Warner Center, there are several bars (as well as upscale shops), including the lovely Center Bar, where you’ll also find live piano music, and Landmarc, which serves casual bistro fare. For something fancier, there’s the Stone Rose Lounge.
從廣場出發,在大堂里活色生香的香檳酒吧門外走過,登上樓梯,走進更加私密的玫瑰俱樂部(Rose Club),里面擺著豪華舒適的椅子,特別適合私人談話。一杯血腥瑪麗23美元,但是……嗨!其實你可以用堅果和爆米花做一頓免費的美餐(廣場餐廳是個了不起的好地方,可以選購面點和其他零食,帶到公園里吃)。然后沿著中央公園南部路一路向西,從威士忌公園到埃塞克斯豪斯JW萬豪酒店(J W Marriott Essex House)內南門餐廳(South Gate)的酒吧,瀏覽沿途酒吧的櫥窗內有沒有什么東西能吸引你。來到藝術與設計博物館之后,去九層,會看到羅伯特餐廳與沙龍,里面有現場鋼琴音樂會,還可以俯瞰哥倫布轉盤廣場(Columbus Circle)的風光。時代華納中心的街對面有好幾家酒吧(及高端店鋪)包括可愛的中心酒吧(Center Bar),此地也有現場鋼琴演奏,還有地標酒吧(Landmarc),供應家常的小餐廳美食。如果想要華麗點兒的,去石玫瑰沙龍(Stone Rose Lounge)。
