Romantic Rooftop Bar: Upstairs at The Kimberly Hotel | NYC

A romantic rooftop bar located off Lexington Avenue, Upstairs at The Kimberly Hotel NYC, is an ideal first state spot with a stunning view of the Chrysler Building.Upstairs at The Kimberly Hotel NYC

On a warm summer NYC night, this rooftop was packed by 7 pm. You definitely want to make reservations for a table.

Also a very happening place to meet people.Upstairs at The Kimberly Hotel

Complimentary Popcorn
Truffled flavored popcorn – so delicious. Loved it, and a good way to start the evening. Upstairs at The Kimberly Hotel

Cocktails
Cilantro Sol (left): Tequila based medley of cilantro, ginger, pineapple, chili pepper, and fresh lime. Slightly diluted, flavorful, but not spicy. drink. Overall, decent.
Electrolyte (right-left): A vodka watermelon drink perfect for summer and flavored with pineapple and lemon. This drink was even more diluted than the Cilantro Sol. I wasn’t able to detect much flavor.
Riesling White Wine, Reichsgraf Von Kesseltatt, Germany 2011 (right-right): Delicious! A favorite.Cocktails - Upstairs at The Kimberly Hotel

Savory Appetizers
Kobe Burger Sliders: Prepared with wagyu beef, cheddar, lettuce, tomato & pickle. Phenomenal bugers! Juicy and tender meat. The sauce was incredible. The burgers were too small, but so worth it. A favorite!Kobe Beef Sliders - Upstairs at The Kimberly Hotel

Baby Golden & Red Beet Salad (top): Beet salad combined with candied walnuts and whipped goat cheese. I did enjoy the whipped goat cheese, but it wasn’t tart enough. Additionally, there was a lot of liquid in this dish. Just average.
Yellowfin Tuna Tartare (bottom): The tartare was topped over spicy flavorful avocado and came with a side of chips that tasted like potato chips, literally. A total waste of money.Baby Golden & Red Beet Salad, Yellowfin Tuna Tartare - Upstairs at The Kimberly Hotel

Truffled Mac and Cheese: The one dish I was really looking forward to, I love truffle in just about anything. Unfortunately, the truffle flavor was seriously lacking, and instead there was a prominent flavor of nutmeg. Having said that, the dish did arrive bubbling hot, and was creamy and cheesy, I wish there was more truffle and less nutmeg.

RESTAURANT REVIEW: Upstairs at The Kimberly Hotel
COST: $$$
CUISINE: Lounge/Rooftop
FAVORITES: Riesling White Wine | Kobe Burger Sliders
VERDICT: 3.5 / 5
The food and drinks at Upstairs did not wow me by any means, but what you’re getting here is a romantic rooftop with an unbeatable view of the Chrysler building. At $18 a cocktail, I was surprised the drinks were watered down. What you’re paying for here is a romantic setting, happening crowd, and view. Should you decide to hangout at this lovely rooftop, stick to wine, and definitely get those Kobe Burger Sliders. Lastly, I noticed many folks ordered the Crispy French Fries which may be the way to go. With that being said, Upstairs at The Kimberly Hotel NYC is a great first date spot for an intimate evening.

PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's an Indo-Fusion dish you will love! I made a delicious marinade for the paneer and sauteed it along with the veggies. Assemble your whole wheat quesadillas and cook until the cheese has melted. The best part about this dish is my "special taco sauce" which complements these quesadillas perfectly. ⁠

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove

Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to H Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to Hawaii safe and sound, and Krish was pretty good on the plane. It’s my first time in Hawaii and I’m loving Waikiki… the beach, food, window shopping, and city life. I love being able to walk everywhere. It’s the perfect amount of action and relaxation for me. This is totally my kinda vacation 😎!  Krish has been loving all the people-watching… something he doesn’t do much of back home. He’s been flexible and has pretty much adjusted to our schedule. Thank you 🙏🏼 guys for all the food recommendations (Duke’s Hula Pie) and tips on traveling with a toddler. I can’t thank you all enough. ❤️ #myworld
