NYC Overstory

Overstory — the rooftop that’s louder on Instagram than it is on the palate 📸🌃 🍋 Wind-in-your-hair hype + “World’s 50 Best” badge = elevator ride 65 floors of anticipation. Doors part… BAM! 360° glass-wrapped skyline, Chrysler building glittering like a disco anklet 💎✨ — that’s the one-hit wonder. The drinks? All razzle-dazzle build-up, zero mic-drop. 🥃 “Clarified pea-shell cordial with sous-vide lovage foam” sounds like a science fair, tastes like… cold green water 🧪 Smoked-tea bourbon poured from a spinning glass orb? Smoke show, flavor no-show 🌪️💨 ❤️‍🩹 Yuzu-caviar sparkler arrives glowing under a tiny UV light — cute, until you realize it’s just expensive Sprite 🔦 Menu keeps flexing rotovap this, centrifuge that, but my tongue filed a missing-person report for actual deliciousness. 🥒 Moral: buy the $20 elevator ticket (a.k.a. first cocktail), snap the golden-hour skyline, post “living my best life,” then Uber down for a real drink someplace less… stratospheric. 🌇🚕 Bottom line — come for the view vault, leave before the flavor fall. 📉 #NYCBars #Overstory #ViewOverProof
