Metro Grill

On our first visit to NYC, our family enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Hotel Metro; however, on our last night there we decided to dine at the hotel's restaurant, The Metro Grill. What a bad decision. The food and service were marginal, the prices on the high side for the quality; but the absolute worst part was the 2 large cockroaches crawling around the dining room during our meal. When brought to the attention of the waitress, she had the bus boy step on the first one; we then saw a second one crawling on the booth next to us; someone else brought that to the attention of the bus boy who was unable to get that one and they actually sat guests at that booth not 5 minutes after the cockroach had been crawling on it.

All right, this bar is right next to my work so Friday at 5pm we went there for drinks on the rooftop. more

Perfect for that after-work drink the Rooftop Bar of the Hotel Metro gets crowded with Midtown white collars looking for a drink before heading home. Never had the food so cannot comment. However, great place to people watch, catch a drink and maybe meet someone. The crowd is young with plenty of people in their twenties to early thirties. Tip: There are only 2 bathrooms so make those bathroom trips count as you're likely to wait forever if you need to go again. Pros: Good Crowd, Relaxed Atmosphere Cons: Shortage of bathrooms more
