Venue Review: The Pooldeck at The Empire Hotel (NYC - New York City)

Is  it summer already? No, unfortunately not. But that doesn’t mean that the new  Pooldeck at the Empire Hotel isn’t ready for it. Here’s some info for all you  Upper West Side-ers. [more from UrbanDaddy.com]

“Built as an exclusive 150-capacity  Vegas-style pool with cabanas, … cocktail service and the requisite eye candy  that naturally flocks to rooftop pools in Manhattan, the Pooldeck is set to be  your new favorite UWS pool scene (actually, it's the only UWS pool scene).”

More  on the cabanas and nightlife [more from NYMag.com]

"Should you want to escape the glow of the Empire Hotel sign, there will  be five reserve-able cabanas, each equipped with a plasma-screen TV, a  telephone (because we don’t have cell phones?), wireless, and daybeds. There  will be food and cocktails, too, but remember that the Empire is where Jeffrey  Chodorow's steakhouse, Center Cut, is poised to go into the twelfth floor. Just  keep in mind what they say about swimming after a heavy meal.”

Now  let’s not forget, The Pooldeck is only open to GUESTS of the hotel only. So…  [courtesy of Urban Daddy]

  “…don't let that intimidate you.  You can get in the old fashioned way...with cash. Get a room at the hotel and  you'll have access to the pool, the roof deck for cocktails and those cabanas…”
