Penthouse808

Just across the Queensboro Bridge in Long Island City, you’ll find Penthouse 808 at the Ravel Hotel. This indoor-outdoor restaurant and lounge offers sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline. If you’re looking for cocktails, the bar has you covered. Order signature drinks like the Far Eastside with gin, cucumber, lime and black peppercorn or the Rising Tide with dark rum, spiced rum, caramelized pineapple-raspberry syrup and tiki syrup for one person or a crowd ($14 cocktail, $68 pitcher). Coming through with a crew? Penthouse 808 also offers two drinks—a rum punch with coconut milk and banana-blackberry syrup and fruity vodka concoction—in one- or two-gallon tiki heads ($75 for one gallon, $120 for two gallons). The restaurant serves Asian fusion cuisine like salmon tartare tacos ($17), a crispy duck, watermelon and cashew salad ($15), Hawaiian skirt steak ($29) and a sticky glazed pork belly rib ($29).
