| Open year-round with a marked capacity of 1,000, 230 Fifth (230 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, 212-725-4300) can comfortably accommodate a varied crowd -- from pocket-lined VIPs to more budget-conscious parties – provided you arrived dressed “casual smart” (no torn jeans, flip flops, or gaudily bold graphic t-shirts). Created in 2006 by the former owner of the Roxy and Palladium night clubs, the rooftop garden and enclosed Penthouse Lounge has hosted exciting events such as The Devil Wears Prada premier party and the Louis Vuitton and Chanel holiday parties, according to their website. Oversized umbrellas shield patrons from hot sun or light rain, and weekend brunch is also served. |
