Magic Hour – NYC Review

Magic Hour

Magic Hour

Ready to find a little bit of a wonderland within the big apple? Head over to Magic Hour for these vibes and you won’t be disappointed.

At the top of the Moxy hotel, the Magic Hour is decorated with very adorable pink bunnies and green walls. Additionally to this, they have different sections inside this rooftop bar/lounge with different vibes. If you’re wanting to get a view of the Empire State Building, one section here was exactly that.

The overall atmosphere is more on the social side and meeting new people here is easy. People, as well as the overall vibe, are open and nice. 
This spot is very Instagram worthy, and if you need to get the right photo, don’t worry, many other grammers are here doing the same thing. Hit those angles sis. With that being said, ladies wear a mix of dressy chic and stylish here. Guys dressed in easy, stylish clothing. Everyone seemed to be vibing in some fresh outfits.
What sets this place apart if their carousel seating. It turns slowly while you sit and drink, giving you 360 views of the entire place. Their rooftop is open all year-round but shines in the summer – as does the sun in New York City. They’re quite busy every day of the week, including their happy hours and specially packed on weekends. You’re going to want to know someone here or get on the list. If you don’t know anyone and you’re just visiting for the weekend, anticipate the line and try to get down there early! It’s worth the wait. 
 
Drinks here are about $20 a drink, but you’re sipping quality. They play a mix of EDM and Hip-Hop, and with a vibe like this, it’s hard to not say yes and keep the drinks rolling. Inside their big venue, they offer a mix of food, mini-golf, a carousel, and again, a very Instagram worthy aesthetic. 

You can bet your sweet ass Magic Hour will be seeing Mr.Nokturnal again.

Le Bain – NYC Review

Le Bain

Breathing taking views, millennial crowd, and a pool? Yeah, that’s our type. If that sounds like you, too, then give Le Bain a shot for the night.

Le Bain is easily one of the nicest rooftops in NYC. Open during the day, and the evenings, you’re bound to receive some vibrancy from the airy and positive atmosphere. Our suggestion: get there early, because there are always lines on the weekend. The doors get harder as the night goes on! “Split up if you’re a group of guys, and be early” – Mr.Nokturnal himself.

When walking in, there is a mandatory coat check, so don’t be adding that into your outfit as it will have to be removed. The dress code is more chic causal, so ladies, wear an adorable new outfit you’ve been wanting to be seen in public. And as for the gentlemen, you can’t go wrong with a button-up. Don’t get too casual, because then your entry is up to the doorman’s desecration.

The decorations are incredibly beautiful and go along with the trendy crowd it attracts. On the patio, they have an artificial turf with lounge chairs you can sit and relax in. Along with that, the pool as mentioned before is actually open. You are able to sit along or take a dip in the pool, which earns massive brownie points. Forgot your bathing suit? Don’t worry, they have a vending machine that sells them for $80.

You can get bottle service here, but if you’re not with a big group or a special event, then it doesn’t really need to happen. The drinks are around $20 for a cocktail which shouldn’t be surprising anymore considering this is NYC and an amazing spot.

The overall atmosphere is a more intimate light setting, with a good ratio of 60:40 in favor of women. The men here are more classy, and the staff does a very good job making sure it stays that way. The 2-floor club also has some party nights which would be amazing, and you should get to know a promoter at this spot to make sure you can always get in with ease.

You can catch us here, vibin’ all summer 19.

Mr. Purple – NYC Review

Mr. Purple

Mr. Purple

In New York and looking to get the most Instagram worthy shot of the amazing views? The Nokturnal group has found the perfect place for you to go: Mr.Purple.

Mr.Purple is a bar/lounge located at the top of the Indigo Hotel and is guaranteed to give you some excellent views. In the summer, this place thrives on its vibrant customers and easy going atmosphere. It’s best days are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

When you first come up in the elevator, you will arrive at the top floor and see an awning which most people gravitate towards – especially in the summer. This is for sure one of the hottest places to go and the lines are usually long, but worth the wait. If you end up staying at the Indigo hotel, you won’t need to wait in lines and are allowed 2 guests per room to enter Mr.Purple. The security here is friendly and respectful but efficient nonetheless, and will kick people out quietly if they’re out of line – so don’t be jumping in the pool at night and you’ll be okay.

The overall atmosphere is friendly and easy-going. A ratio of 60:40 in favor of women makes this place a great spot for ladies going out without wanting to get bothered too much by single men. The music here is an open format vibe, and there isn’t really a lot of dancing. The busiest times on the best days are 9pm Friday and Saturday but is equally as busy in the daytime Saturday and Sunday. It is open other days as well and still delivers a solid night.

Mr.Purple is a good place for cocktails which are served in plastic cups which doesn’t really work with the upscale look of this place taking customers a little by surprise. The drinks are priced well considering it’s NYC. Vodka shots cost $15 just the same as a mixed drink, so it’s nothing too unreasonable.

Women dressed in smart casual wear but didn’t go out of their ways to be super stylish. Men dressed in button-up shirts, or a nice jean and t-shirt combo. No sportswear or flip-flops here.

At night, with the pool lit up, the lights and energy of Manhattan surrounding the rooftop you cannot go wrong with Mr.Purple’s vibe.

They will 100% be seeing Mr.Nokturnal and the group often.

MUSIC

DRINK PRICES

The music is a mix of hip-hop and top 40 with occasional throwbacks in the mix, and the DJ’s are usually pretty good. People dance here and have a good time, which keeps the atmosphere light yet exciting.

PHD Midtown – NYC Review

PHD Midtown

Checking out Manhattan for a quick summer weekend trip, and wanting those iconic rooftop views and a good time? Perfect, that’s all us at Nokturnal Group want for you.

If you’re ready to be dazzled and inspired to move to New York we have the ultimate location for you. Phd Midtown is owned by the TAO group — so you already know it’s about to blow your mind. This is their second location after having another one located downtown.

PhD is located on the 15th and 16th floor of the Dream Hotel. It is open year round but truly shines in the summer months when they open the rooftop. When you first arrive, you take an elevator to the 15th floor where you have an option to go up a flight of stairs to the 16th floor with the breathtaking views or stay.

If you choose to go up to the 16th-floor rooftop, it is more of a lounge vibe to chat with your friends, catch up on the gossip, and relax after a hard week. However, the lower floor has a completely different vibe. It has more of a club vibe with upbeat music and freedom from hassles — like a constant line of men ready to hit on anything.

This place is definitely more upscale and you should expect higher prices. After all, this is an ambient place right in the heart of the bustling capital of the world. PhD also has an upscale cover charge on weekend, men, you can expect a $75 bar tab or something similar. To avoid such prices, we strongly suggest getting on the guest list or getting there before 12. Ladies, just dress to impress and you’ll be fine.

The age range is roughly 21-mid 30’s, and the fashion is also adequate. Men usually dress in button up or a shirt with a blazer. Seeing men dressed in suits are regular because they head over to have a good time after work. Women dress classy casual for the night time and the high prices ensure that the ratio is 60:40 in favor of women. If you’re looking for a place for a girls night, this place is it!

Bartenders and bouncers are friendly, they constantly make sure you have a stamp — which could get annoying but that’s okay, just order their 10-pound Moscow Mule and you’ll forget all about them. If you and your friends are looking for bottles, they’re available upstairs and downstairs and is a decent place to get it depending on what type of person you are — bottles do enhance the fun here, though.

Best days to go are Friday to Saturday, but their Tuesday party is just as good. From grad students to lawyers, to tourists, this place is definitely somewhere worth going. The rumor wheel says PhD downtown is a better party, but PhD midtown is more women-friendly.

PhD Midtown is overall one of our favorites. The only question that remains is, when are you booking that guest list and getting down to party!

Verdict, a Mr. Nokturnal favorite
