Orient Express Cocktail Bar in West Village.The Orient Express may have inspired iconic novels and films like From Russia with Love, served as the setting for bravado characters like James Bond, and been featured as the backdrop of Agatha Christie's most famous works, but the famed vintage train continues to ride through modern culture with its latest stop in NYC's West Village,where Turks and Frogs owner Osman Cakir has re-conceptualized its famous voyages into a posh, time-reversing cocktail bar with a flair for the spirits of yesteryear. Its look reflects the nostalgia of train travel: Amid the sexy amber glow, warm vintage-tinted beech wood panels, faux windows and bronzed luggage racks, the bar—a handcrafted Caesar Stone beauty—is the clear focal point. Above it, the ceiling curvesto each side, and behind, bartenders bedecked in old-school vests and neckties shake andpour cocktails.

Solid destination for Brunch with quick service and large portion sizes. Cocktails are well made and arrive quickly with a lot containing tequila if that’s your thing! Our drinks were served in plastic glasses/tumblers which for us was the difference in 4 or 5 stars. Overall, I’d definitely recommend and plan to go back.

The Fleur Room is really a very pretty space and the floor to ceiling glass to look at the city is spectacular. We went there for happy hour on Friday and we were very excited about trying all the things in the happy hour menu. However the portions were really very small like two meatballs on a plate small and yes sure it was wagyu beef but still. So if you are like me and going for happy hour be prepared! Other than that the experience was delightful and made for a wonderful date night!

I had been curious to try Penthouse on Park for some time, and am glad that I finally did. The space is beautiful and has the loveliest views. I sat in the lounge area - it was nice and comfortable. The guacamole tostada and hummus were both delicious. The mini lobster rolls were amazing. And the chocolate chip cookie sandwich was fantastic. My sever Kevin was terrific and the prices were very reasonable. I would definitely recommend.
