Open for outdoor dining only
If you want a relaxed nightclub experience, then you need to get to Magic Hour club in New York. It is New York City's largest indoor and outdoor all season rooftop club, bar, and lounge. Located in the Moxy Hotels building, 18 floors up, Magic Hour is split into five different environments. The giant animal girls outside are great fun. They are topiary animals cut into fun and suggestive positions, in case there was any doubt in your mind that you were attending an adult oriented venue. Further inside this continues with Foreplay, their mini golf course with humanoid animals in sexy poses instead of the usual windmill challenges. The rest of the venue has a sort of fairground feel to it. There is a small interior lounge with a bit of an industrial feel to it, with wire panels, metal frames, and a rough finish. The bare lightbulbs and curtains, and metal finishes tend to continue as a trend throughout the building. The East side outdoor space overlooks the Empire State Building and is decorated as an upscale garden party. The West side is a true carnival of fun, with one seating area even rotating like a fairground carousel. Look out for the elephant lamp! The decor everywhere is trendy and quirky, with a medley of prints and patterns on the furniture that somehow comes together just right. The indoor plants add an extra layer of wild and quirky fun to this venue. There are sexy animals and circus themes everywhere, but they fit in so well that you might only notice them when looking closely. With all round full length windows you will be able to look out over the city at night, which is a beautiful sight to behold. If you choose to sit on the rotating platform you get a great view of the city from different angles as you spin. The Magic Hour nightclub boasts a full bar with some top name brands and plenty of delicious speciality cocktails. None of the cocktails are very strong, and you will probably want bottle service or just straight shots if you want to get a real buzz going. The venue sells a selection of light bites, in case you want something to eat before the party starts, or to revive you for the dance floor. They are all unique creations from their own kitchen, and are based on classic dishes with a nice twist. There is a coat check available at the door, and the staff everywhere are very friendly and eager to please. If you need anything at all just ask them and they will probably comply, or at least see what they can do. Because the venue can be very busy they encourage making reservations. They are actually so busy that just because you make a reservation doesn't mean you have it! You will need to wait for a reply to confirm your reservation has been made and there is a table for you.
Nebula New York, the city’s top-notch mega-club, is a major game-changer in New York’s nightlife industry. The enormous club was founded in 2021 by Richie Romero, a former partner at Butter Group, the force behind 1OAK and Up&Down, and Yang Gao, the co-founder of MIXX Lifestyle Group. This explains the club’s continued success.
Nebula is an 11,000-square-foot mega-club located at 135 W. 41st St. in Midtown Manhattan, just off of Times Square. With space for 700 patrons, it features a 5,500-square-foot floor, a 2,500-square-foot mezzanine and a 3,000-square-foot lower level. Aside from providing an incredible nightclub experience with great music and cocktails, Nebula is also home to cutting-edge technology. The club boasts a moving ceiling consisting of 6 huge screens. When the six different screens are combined, they produce a large venue-spanning screen with a variety of graphics including the night sky and rhythmic flashing lights beneath which guests can dance until the sun comes up. There is also a D&B sound system that pumps out the beats. Nebula also features three private club rooms dedicated to private groups for those who are wary of big crowds. Each room has its own sound system and restroom, with a capacity of 20-40 people. One of the club’s strongest features is its innovative and creative interior. Nebula, as the name implies, showcases an astronomical design inspired by the interstellar.
Nebula’s location has a long history in clubland. It was formerly Saci, Show and Arena. Most recently, it housed Circle, a Korean American spot that defined going out for a generation of the Asian and Asian American communities in New York until it closed in 2018. The private events, which take place on weeknights, are a lucrative sideline to the main attraction: weekend dance parties with top DJs from around the world, including Jamie Jones, Artbat, Eric Prydz, DJ Makj and Rony Seikaly who push electronic music and the NYC nightlife experience as a whole to new heights. The club also attracts some of the most popular artists and musicians to perform. The musicians include Storm Lever and Daniel Quadrino who performed in special Broadway Plus performances after the nightclub opened its doors.
The club feels split between worlds — it’s a Brooklyn warehouse oasis within Midtown Manhattan’s desert of dance music spaces, and it’s simultaneously a bottle service club with all the trappings of a much larger, high-tech concert venue.The nightclub specializes in an unparalleled combination of disco, nu-disco, funk, soul, and house, setting the way for partygoers and electronic music enthusiasts from all over the world.
The dress code at Nebula is basically dress to impress! No athletic or leisure wear is allowed. The club reserves the right to turn down anyone that isn’t appropriately dressed to their standards. The minimum age requirement is 21.
For partygoers seeking an innovative and unique clubbing experience in the heart of NYC, Nebula will be the ideal destination for a night like no other.
A new rooftop destination plants itself in the firmament of New York nightlife. The Fleur Room is located at 105 W 28th Street on Moxy Chelsea’s 35th floor. The glass-encased lounge has a 360-degree view of the Manhattan skyline, from the Statue of Liberty to the Empire State Building. The club officially opened its doors on March 7, 2019. The design by Rockwell Group adds a glamorous touch to the botanical theme with rich floral fabrics, a copper-clad bar, a water droplet chandelier, and a massive vintage disco ball that once graced the infamous LA Club Vertigo. At the touch of a button, the glass walls of the lounge retract to create an alfresco sky veranda. Since opening its doors, it has become one of the hottest rooftop bars and for good reason, the entire design creates a sophisticated and vintage vibe.
The Fleur Room is a one-of-a-kind experience that takes guests' breath away the moment they step out of the elevator. It’s divided into two spaces: a more casual room complete with a full classic bar and ample seating, and a second, wider room lined with banquettes that transitions into a dance floor as the night goes on. To heighten the experience, the staff raises the garage-style windows to let in the fresh air on warm spring and summer evenings. True to its name—and tipping its hat to the historic Flower District—The Fleur Room welcomes guests to a space filled with floral themes, from the massive bouquet at the entrance to the flora-encased glass tables to the floral-patterned furnishings.
Fridays and Saturdays are your best bet at The Fleur Room. By 12:30 a.m., it becomes the most fun, crazy room—but cool and curated, elevated and elegant. It’s an old-school dance party, with New York as the backdrop. Weeknights can also be a great time and tend to have smaller crowds. Guests can enjoy the relaxed lounge atmosphere and cocktail menu from opening through sunset, and as evening turns into late night, the atmosphere turns more celebratory as a DJ begins cranking the music and the dance floor fills with partygoers. The type of music played is the open format: a mix from groovy, to pop, to hip hop. The music varies to suit many different tastes and the vibe gets more clubby as the night progresses.
The Fleur Room has a reputation for attracting high-profile guests; so you never know who you’re going to see. In fact, the lounge has already hosted well-known visitors such as Mick Jagger, Idris Elba, Sebastian Stan, Mina Cvetkovic, and Chace Crawford, among others.
Be advised that The Fleur Room is pretty strict on dress code, upscale fashionable attire is required. For guys, they recommend a collared shirt, pants, and nice shoes. No basketball shorts, team jerseys, baseball caps, robes, or tank tops will be permitted in the venue. Ladies can’t go wrong with a little black dress and heels. Please note, however, that entrance is always at the discretion of the door staff. Please also keep in mind that all guests must be 21+ w/a valid ID to enter.
