More Alfresco Options with the New Gramercy Terrace

The Gramercy Terrace reopened last Friday on top of the Gramercy Park Hotel, 17 stories above Lexington Ave between 21st and 22nd. The newly refurbished kitchen is twice the size of the old one and is operated by Jeff Seizer.
Their website points out that, "Gramercy Terrace combines all the charm of London's private gentlemen's clubs and the Bohemian bustle of a Viennese coffee house."
"Striking a balance between after-hours chic and the classic style of private membership clubs, the Gramercy Terrace is nothing less than a country club in the city."
The terrace opens at a busy time for nearby rooftop destinations. TROTN (The Roof of The Nomad) starts serving their $125 five-course tasting next month, Birreria has got the hinges on their retractable roof well greased and ready for summer, and Tavern 29 is serving craft beers and pub food on the roof of a three story brownstone at 47 East 29th Street.
