This hidden gem offers one of the most spectacular views in all of New York City. Perched high above Times Square in the iconic Marriott Marquis, the Broadway Lounge gives you a front-row seat to the dazzling energy of Manhattan from a comfortable distance – the perfect escape from the tourist crowds while still enjoying the quintessential NYC experience.

What makes this spot truly special is the panoramic vista of Times Square’s neon wonderland through floor-to-ceiling windows, particularly magical as day transitions to night. The rotating lounge seating is strategically arranged so nearly every table gets that million-dollar view, making it an impressive yet underrated spot to bring out-of-town guests or enjoy a pre-theater drink.

While the food menu features reliable American classics, people come here primarily for the atmosphere and those incredible views. The cocktails are well-crafted, if not revolutionary, and pair perfectly with the scenery. The service strikes that nice balance between attentive and unobtrusive, letting the cityscape take center stage.

For a quintessential New York moment without the hassle of crowded observation decks or overpriced rooftops, the Broadway Lounge delivers an experience that reminds you why this city continues to captivate visitors and locals alike.
