Q'BA

Terrace seating and cocktails that are hard to beat
Tipple of choice: Try an express elevator, a delicious mix of vodka and black raspberry syrup, orange juice and grenadine.

Word to the wise: Everyone knows about the terrace here, and it's tiny, so if you really must have a table with a view do book ahead.
A great place to come for those who like a bit of a scene, Q'BA has some of the most appealing tables in the city, with balcony seats offering views over Central Park.

Spread over two floors, this is a welcoming bar that manages to be stylish without being pretentious. By day the dining area is a bright, neat place to eat, but by night it shifts into a more edgy space with bold lighting and the arrival of a DJ.
