NWR Need NYC Lounge Suggestions

I haven't been here but I know it's loungy and serves food. I copied the description from Sheckys

Mannahatta: Mannahatta feels a little downtown and a little Midtown, but all and all, gets things right. A light tapas menu, afternoon hours, sugary specialty cocktails, and after-work specials say “after-work crowd.” Its downtown Bowery location and non-corporate sleekness works for a crowd that may do the 9-5, but knows Dave Matthews *****. Sidewalk seating fills up fast in the summer, but since Mannahatta’s big doors and windows open wide to the outside world, everyone in the airy new-agey-feeling main lounge feels summer’s love too. Hover by the long bar or grab one of the cushiony, low-slung sofas and wait for attractive servers to do their thing. Sunshine bores the daylights out of you? The late-night scene downstairs is completely clubby and the velvet rope is as friendly as the diverse crowd.

Im not sure if its open now, I know its a summer place..but try Riverside Drive Bar.
Its great weather for it. Its hidden in Riverside park., noone really knows about it b/c you have to walk down in the park to see it but its always packed....and good prices..with an amazing view on a summer night.

125 Riverside Drive Bar & Grill

Thanks everyone. I think we're going to try Mannahatta. Does anyone know if that place has a cover charge? My friend the Bday girl decided that she wanted to eat somewhere else first then head out to a lounge.

---

been there and yes there was a cover. but i think if you have a party you can create a guest list. not positive though but you can call and ask. have fun!

You could go to Spice Market (thai/asian food) or Vento (Italian food) first and then go to Aer (in the meatpacking district - right around the corner from both restaurants).

Sorry I didnt read above. I want to go!!! How is it at night, only food or is it like a bar/club/dancing place.

Astoria does have great places, and Im soo used to going with friends and seeing all my friends everywhere I go BUT its starting to get annoying.
