“I hosted my husband’s surprise 40th birthday party at Halo Lounge, and I can't say enough about how incredible the entire experience was! From start to finish, everything was seamless, stress-free, and exceeded all expectations.

Sal, the owner, was an absolute pleasure to work with—very responsive, friendly, truly accommodating, and so easy to work with. From our first meeting, he walked me through every detail, making the planning process effortless. He stayed in touch throughout, answered all my questions, and ensured everything was set up exactly as I envisioned.

The venue itself is next-level! It has a cool nightclub vibe (can easily transform the space to fit your event type), with a state-of-the-art sound system, an incredible light show, and a massive 32-foot bar that was a huge hit with our guests. The flexible seating and table setups let us customize the space exactly how we desired. Super easy parking.

What really sets Halo apart is how much they offer to simplify event planning. We booked their Starlite DJ, and he was phenomenal—playing all our favorite songs while seamlessly mixing in his own picks to match the crowd’s energy. He kept the vibe high all night and was amazing on the mic! They also offer catering services, backdrops, photo booths, décor add-ons, and much more, making the entire process so much easier!

And let’s talk about the Halo team—absolutely amazing! Our two bartenders were pros, serving up fantastic drinks and handling our crowd of 60 effortlessly. Huge shoutout to Julio—the true MVP of the night! From setup to the very end, he made sure everything ran smoothly, handled any requests with patience and a positive attitude, and went above and beyond to help. Julio, you are the best!

My husband had an unforgettable night, and our guests haven’t stopped raving about how fun the party was and how unique the venue is. If you’re looking for the perfect place to host an incredible event, Halo Lounge is the place! We will definitely be hosting future events at Halo and recommending it to our friends and family. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you, Sal! ?”

“Best staff we've ever experienced. Sha gave me his personal charger when I was in a bind. The night crew on Oct 5th ran around the hotel to find us amenities, and carried furniture outside to accommodate our late night hang out. Chatting it up with them helped us understand how genuine they are. I'll always stay here.

Rooms: Fix wireless charger, keycards, include utensils in room.”

“Went with my mom and her friends to celebrate her birthday we had an amazing time !!! Jennifer and atahya were very alert and on demand we would definitely go back”

“The NYC Transit Museum is a must-visit for any New Yorker or visitor interested in the city's rich history. I'm impressed that this underground gem offers a fascinating look into the evolution of the subway system, from its early days to the modern-day marvels we rely on today.

If you're looking for a unique and educational experience, the NYC Transit Museum is definitely worth a visit. (Please don't let go of the metro card).”

“Such a great experience! Staff were super nice and friendly. They will guide you through your candle making process. You are allowed to use up to two fragrances. (They have an amazing collection of fragrances!) The whole process will take about 40min and you come back to pick up your candle in 2h. Ours turned out super pretty! Would definitely recommend this place to friends ”

The location is fantastic, right in the heart of New York City, making it easily accessible whether you’re exploring the city or attending an event. The building itself is a masterpiece, with its art deco architecture and grand design making it a sight to behold. Whether you’re attending a show or just visiting to see it up close, it’s a cool and memorable place to experience.”

“Yesterday I used the Workville Space for a team meeting with 10 people. It is a fantastic office space! The customer service is exceptional! Booking via email was super easy with a live person able to answer all questions. Once we arrived the reception administrator was super helpful and helped me set up my equipment. He was available throughout my meeting to help with any needs or questions. The space was clean, bright, professional and perfect for our needs. I will definitely be returning! I highly recommend Workville!”

“As a wedding photographer, I always appreciate venues that offer both incredible views and a seamless experience—and Tribeca Rooftop + 360° does exactly that. The rooftop provides one of the best panoramic views of NYC, making it a stunning backdrop for portraits, especially around sunset. Indoors, the modern, open space can be transformed to fit any couple’s vision, whether they’re going for something classic, romantic, or contemporary.

Beyond the aesthetics, the team here is fantastic. They’re organized, professional, and make sure everything flows smoothly, which makes a huge difference in how stress-free and enjoyable the day feels for couples (and their vendors!).

If you’re looking for a wedding venue with an unbeatable cityscape, great lighting, and a team that truly knows how to run an event, Tribeca Rooftop + 360° is always a great choice.”

The staff are all incredibly friendly, and for where you are, drinks and food are reasonable.”

“I HIGHLY recommend RAIN. My daughter’s bat mitzvah was epic. Scott and Miriam covered every detail making it so easy and simple to throw a smooth and fun event. The DJ, emcee and dancers were incredible and had the whole crowd - from ages 2 to 52 dancing for the Bat Mitzvah girl- they just get it! And the space is so easy to customize to your own look. The parking made it very easy for our city friends to pull up and have a blast!! Thank you so much Scott and Miriam!!”

“The workers are truly lovely, I wish there was an accessible/ gender neutral bathroom. And that security wouldn’t be eyeing some patrons like they’re from mars.”

“Bric is awesome to its community. These people are aware, present, and capable. Providing programs, exhibits, markets, education, tools, space, community. I was honored to pop up with MFTA for BRIC, then I got hooked up on their classes and I can’t get enough. Thank you for providing such dynamic in a city that really needs it.”

“We were looking for a last minute fun thing to do for my birthday. We had planned to go there but from the website couldn’t really understand if it was open on Tuesdays or not. I called & luckily they said they had another group coming at 5pm so we could come then if we wanted to. Kevin was great he made the whole experience more fun & helped guide you through what you wanted to do. The green faded a lot more than I thought it would and my hat had more white than I realized ? but they are still cute & it was super fun none the less!”

“I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Le Soleil NYC, and my experience was quite memorable! From the moment I arrived, the staff greeted me with warmth and gratitude, making me feel genuinely welcome. Their friendliness was evident in every interaction, whether I was checking in or asking for local recommendations.

The hotel’s location is simply perfect; it offers easy access to many of the city’s attractions, eateries, and public transport, allowing for a seamless exploration of everything that NYC has to offer. This convenience truly enhanced my stay.

One aspect that truly distinguished Hotel Le Soleil was the outstanding service. Each staff member, from the attentive front desk personnel to the diligent housekeeping team, showcased professionalism and efficiency. Their genuine smiles and readiness to assist made my visit all the more enjoyable.

While I highly recommend Hotel Le Soleil NYC for anyone searching for a comfortable and convenient retreat, I did encounter a couple of issues. Firstly, I found the rates to be somewhat on the pricey side compared to other similar options in the area. Additionally, I noticed a persistent sewage smell in the bathroom that was quite unpleasant. The sofa bed in my room was another downside; it was uncomfortable and inconvenient, making my nights less restful than I had hoped.

Despite these drawbacks, the overall experience at Hotel Le Soleil NYC was positive, and I would still encourage anyone to consider it for their stay in the city, particularly for its exceptional service and ideal location.

Walkability: It's located in Bryant Park, very close to subway stations and the main attractions around NYC.

Food and drinks: I would not spend money on breakfast here; instead, walk five minutes and you will find many local coffee shops.”

“Clean studio with plenty of room options. Prices are in line with other studios in the city.Rooms are very clean and well appointed. One of the cleaner, more modern looking practices spaces I’ve visited in recent years.”

“Beautiful venue which has multiple spaces to take care of your conference and parties. The staff is very supportive and a huge shout out to Arthur, Maria and the team at Riverview Ballroom for making our business conference truly special with their personal touch and attention to detail.”

“I went to see a live show here and it went really well. Easy to get to and find. There weren't any vending machines though - no water bottles or anything. I think they did have a water fountain if you want that.”

“Midtown loft was great to work with the whole time! My wedding came out amazing. They were very responsive to anything we needed the whole year we were planning with them. Could not recommend this venue enough!”

“Visited in last day and last moment before the museum getting closed after 20 years. Unique closing party with performance from traditional culture born from Himalaya. A lot of spectacular sculpture in this museum from 16-17th century when people spent decades to craft a master piece instead of leveraging 3D printer. Hopefully the exhibition will be available somewhere else in the world.”

“We hosted a family dinner for 30 at the Mezzanine above the restaurant - everything was wonderful. All communication/planning, the terrific food and the wonderful service were all super friendly and professional. A great night, thank you so much.”

“I found my Manhattan oasis just a few blocks south of Grand Central Station. Quiet, comfortable, friendly. Perfect for me as I was traveling through Manhattan, and Brooklyn, from JFK to Port Charles (via Bridgeport as the cosmos would have it)”
