The Bar/Lounge at Thompson Central Park New York

"Not only does the hotel feature a 17,000-square-foot fitness center (with basketball and racquetball courts, a spa, and a rooftop pool), but it’s also the site of two of the most unique restaurants in midtown (Norma’s and Burger Joint, also reviewed on this website), plus a spectacularly beautiful espresso bar called Knave"

"Combining the comforts of a dependable large hotel with whimsical elements, this property keeps visitors coming back with its long list of amenities including legendary patty-palace Burger Joint (hidden behind a velvet curtain in the lobby), a swimming pool with Central Park views, and a 20,000-square-foot gym with blow-dry bar and mani/pedi spa"

"Knave, the hotel's lobby bar, offers espresso by day and cocktails by night"

"The recently renovated basement facilities include a salon, spa, juice bar and gym"

"Aside from sprawling guest rooms there’s a barbershop, makeup salon, spa, rooftop pool and – the ultimate gem – world famous Burger Joint"

"The "moonshine" served in the intoxicating relaxation lounge is actually mescal, but the end result is the same"
