Rooftop Bar at Roosevelt Hotel now larger with indoor space

May 13, 2009

The Roosevelt Hotel's rooftop lounge, mad46 (corner of Madison and 46th), recently reopened its skies to warmer breezes. Now back in full swing, the lounge is open five days a week, Monday through Friday from 5 p.m. until midnight. Panoramic views of Times Square and Madison Avenue entice guests back to this Midtown Manhattan hideaway.

Now in its second season, mad46 is offering new indoor space with 1,300 square feet and outdoor rooftop awnings. mad46 now serves as a dual purposed rooftop lounge perfect for rainy afternoons and escaping the summer heat. Two 12-foot sliding glass doors allow guests to enjoy an unsurpassed view of Manhattan and a mirrored open flow design makes it easy for bar patrons to move freely between the indoor and outdoor space.

mad46 is serving up an incredible signature drink list, including the Mad Mojito, complete with a white-chocolate stick and shaved coconut, as well as a salute to the hotel's namesake, Teddy Roosevelt, with the espresso Teddy-Tini. New and deliciously creative cocktails are now available such as mad46 Rocks, Absolut and pineapple juice garnished with rock candy, and the Ultimat 46'er, an Ultimat Vodka and Sauvignon Blanc creation served over ice with freshly muddled grapes. Along with its signature drink list, mad46 also offers palate-pleasing lite fare.

Check out the lite fare food menu and cocktails list.

An exclusive elevator, accessible from the 46th Street entrance, ascends directly to the lounge. Above the hustle and bustle of the city, this unpretentious after-work hot spot does not sacrifice service and spaciousness as ultra-trendy bars in the city often do. Its feel is cosmopolitan and relaxed, refreshing guests with ultra chic surroundings and elegantly minimal furnishings.
