For those of you who are interested in having a drink in a sophisticated milieu, Palace Gate is the perfect choice. This 75-seat outdoor lounge is located in the courtyard of the NY Palace Hotel, a Villard Mansion. They have a selection of over 3,500 wines, in addition to a full bar. Palace Gate offers a signature cocktail, the Mariposa; made from mescal, fresh lime, and candied violets, it’s very light and refreshing. Food is prepared by Executive Chef Justin Bogle and the Two Michelin Star team at GILT. Their truffle potato fries are to die for and worth the trip alone. Who says you need rich friends with Italian mansions to sit in the lap of luxury?
