If you want an incredible view to pair with your Pride celebrations, look no further. Glass Ceiling is a gorgeous botanical rooftop located in NoMad. It boasts sweeping, unobstructed views of the Empire State Building, making it the ultimate golden hour spot.

All month long, you can order the “You Betta Werk” cocktail. This massive, shareable drink is literally served inside a glass handbag! It features a refreshing mix of vodka, pinot grigio, elderflower, lychee, and lemon. The drink is finished with a vivid purple pour and a super cute rainbow gummy bear garnish.

“As a Gen Z-er, I can confidently say nobody is outgrowing the idea of getting drinks with friends and talking for hours,” Fusco explains. “Social habits may be changing, but the desire for real human connection definitely is not. If anything, people are craving experiences more than ever because so much of life happens online now.” She goes on to say that in order to keep Gen Zers coming back, “happy hour just has to evolve. People don’t necessarily want rushed vodka sodas in a random sports bar at 5 p.m. anymore — they want atmosphere, intentionality, aesthetics, good food, and somewhere that feels worth leaving the house for. The joy of sharing food and drinks with people you love is never going away.”

We are pleased to share coverage of Glass Ceiling on FOX5’s The Noon, which aired live on Monday, May 11th, highlighting Gage Briney’s collaborative cocktail “One Too Many” available at Glass Ceiling Rooftop.

Exactly what it sounds like, the Glass Ceiling is a botanically themed rooftop bar with views of the Empire State Building and outfitted with a glass ceiling in Manhattan’s NoMad neighbourhood. (It’s also named for the metaphor representing the invisible barrier preventing women and minorities from rising beyond a certain level in the hierarchy.) The cocktail menu features the tried and true, as well as house signatures like Risk It All (vodka, pear, turmeric, ginger, jalapeño, and lemon) and Work of Art (gin, lavender, lime, and egg white). The food menu is great for sharing; mushroom “cheesesteak” bites, devils on horseback (think dates wrapped in bacon), cheese and charcuterie boards, as well as a selection of flatbreads. (For those looking for something more substantial, a smattering of bowls and handhelds are also up for grabs. Brunch is also available on the weekends for DIY mimosas all around.

The menu at midtown’s The Glass Ceiling spotlights female-owned businesses (hence the name). The multipurpose space — it functions as a coworking space and a lounge — features indoor and outdoor seating outfitted with pink and green design accents, primed to appeal to the young professional. In addition to drinks, The Glass Ceiling also serves a full menu of shared plates, salads and main dishes, with brunch on the weekends.

The Glass Ceiling venue, offering a restaurant and bar in NoMad, is the perfect holiday destination for dining and cocktails, also offering an incredible weekend brunch menu. With their retractable glass ceiling rooftop (perfect for Summer), sitting atop the city skyline, their views are unmatched. The inviting rooftop lounge is located in the heart of the NoMad district, which has been growing in popularity over the last year with so many hotspots and notable hotels within a few block radius. The design elements add a glamorous touch to the botanical theme, with a marble bar, concrete surfaces and rattan accents. The space is multi-dimensional transforming daily from day to night, the perfect happy hour lounge with light bites and cocktails to an intimate, curated events space. Featuring indoor and outdoor seating, show-stopping views of the Empire State Building, and an escape from the everyday urban routine.
