The Bar/Lounge at Hotel AKA Nomad

"The hotel's lounge serves American fare at reasonable prices, and the breakfast buffet includes local faves: H&H bagels and Petrossian smoked salmon"

"(Spring for a Terrace Room for a spacious outdoor area—an extreme rarity in New York—with loungers and topiaries"

"The lobby and bar are decorated with an ever-changing display of offbeat art sculptures"

"Perhaps that’s why guests aren’t the only ones who like the chic, exposed-brick lobby-lounge: hip New Yorkers habitually duck into the bright, low-key spot for drinks and a break from the city bustle"

"A floating granite staircase leads from the lobby to a mezzanine lounge, where you can have breakfast in the morning and drink cocktails by candlelight at night"
