Take the express elevator and be transported to a rooftop garden oasis.Upstairs overwhelms the senses at every turn. Take the express elevator from the street level and be transported to a breathtaking urban oasis thirty stories above Manhattan. Living green walls cascade down bronze panels framing the surrounding cityscape from every possible angle.A perfect view of the iconic Chrysler Building is the star of the show. The lighting design interprets a fresh spin on old Hollywood glamour incorporating vintage theatrical lights and strings of edison bulbs that float overhead emitting an intimate, sensual mood. Deliberately shying away from outdoor lounge-style furniture typical of most rooftop bars as of late, Upstairs’ furniture was carefully curated from renowned houses such as B&B Italia, Knoll and Moooi. Clean lines and elegant form at once seem hyper-modern and neo-gothic, inviting guests to relax and unwind in an environment that exemplifies subtle, urban sophistication.

We came at 7pm on a Friday (made a reservation) before the place got filled… and by 8pm is was hopping. From the look of it everyone was having a great time. It’s a cozy dark interior made to be more intimate than many brighter spots. Lots of “regulars.” Service was super attentive without being on top of you. Even the “bus boys” were gracious and concerned if you were enjoying everything. The food: Salads and soups were delicious, abundant and nicely presented. Bronzino and pasta were delicious (although the ravioli could have been warmer). All delicious. The point being: screw ordering in. Go out. Go to Sojour.
