The rooftop of the Flatiron Hotel (1141 Broadway at 26th Street), aka Toshi’s Penthouse, will open to the public in May and it looks like they did a nice job with its design (see photo below). It’s 4000 square feet of space that can handle a 150-person banquet or a 350-person cocktail party. It has views out on to the New York City skyline and the Empire State Building. Currently they are booking the space for birthdays, weddings and events, but word is they will open to the general public select nights of the week in May and will kick things off with a launch party (Check out the Toshi’s Living Room & Penthouse Facebook page for more info). This place looks like it is going to be a great spot for drinks this summer (it’s hard to imagine those hot summer nights right now but we know they are coming).

Lots of interesting things happening in Nomad these days, from the boutique hotels to the new residential projects and restaurants. We noticed an application for a new on-premises liquor license going before CB5 in a space in the midst of the wholesale shops on 28th Street (but situated strategically just a half block from the Nomad Hotel and a block from the Ace Hotel).

They are using the name Pergola and they picked a pretty amazing space at 36 West 28 Street (between Broadway and 6th Avenue) that was clearly from the neighborhood’s time as a flower district. It has all-window frontage and a huge skylight across the top. Not sure if they are going for a restaurant or a bar but this has potential to be a beacon in the neighborhood among the sweatshirt, luggage, and perfume wholesalers. (Know something about this?
