The sprawling 8,630-square-foot terrace of the Stephen Starr-owned Electric Lemon restaurant, situated in the Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards, will have you thinking that you’ve been transported to a modern oasis with water views and haute design.
Sip a Cocktail, Soak in the Sunset, Admire the Artwork
Electric Lemon’s rooftop terrace provides an unobstructed view of the Hudson River. Of course, if you want that big city feel, the Electric Lemon also boasts views of Manhattan’s iconic cityscape.
But sipping the bar’s signature cocktail, try the Spicy Sunset, whilst overlooking the Hudson River at dusk is only one reason why you should make this urban oasis your next happy hour spot.
Electric Lemon’s outdoor space also boasts stunning design elements. The centerpiece of Electric Lemon’s terrace is an enormous human figure sculpted by acclaimed Catalan artist Jaume Plensa. It sits at the edge of a hypnotic infinity-edge reflecting pool.
Haute Design Inspired By the Body in Motion
The Rockwell Group is responsible for bringing the rooftop oasis — and the rest of the Equinox Hotel — to life.
Inspiration for the hotel’s design is drawn from “the human body in motion and expressed through soft, organic design elements,” according to the Rockwell Group. It’s a perfect blend of world-class hospitality and the healthy living Equinox promotes at its luxury gyms.
Electric Lemon Is One of New York’s Coolest Rooftop Restaurants
Electric Lemon’s rooftop dining area is great for casual drinks with friends, cocktails with colleagues, or a romantic date night with that special someone.
If you want that luxurious Hamptons resort-feeling without leaving the Big Apple behind, reserve a spot on the terrace between 5 pm and 7 pm to experience the best sunsets.
