The view through a full wall of windows, encompassing the copper-topped New York Times building, the Paramount, and LED signs among other midtown hallmarks, is the most striking feature of this bar adjoining the 21st floor lobby of the Hilton Times Square. Its patrons, primarily hotel guests spanning the Midwest, Britain, and Asia sit at the trapezoidal, marble-top bar, at a counter along the window, or at tables with club chairs, where they can pair pizzas, calamari and kebabs with fruit-flavored house cocktails such as a tall, pineapple Mai Tai. The bar stocks 18 single malts, as well as tequilas, cognacs, and beers on tap. Most tipplers, however, opt for one of the 21 generously poured glasses of wine before or after their night on the town. — Karen Hudes
