Top of the Strand

Top of the Strand is an intimate rooftop bar nestled on the 21st floor of the Marriott Vacation Club Pulse hotel at 33 West 37th Street in Midtown Manhattan. A retractable glass roof reveals the New York skyline year-round while pillow-topped benches, bar stools, and lush palms create a relaxed, resort-like atmosphere designed by Lydia Marks. Front-row views of the Empire State Building make it one of the city's most celebrated spots for taking in that iconic landmark up close. Signature sous vide cocktails and carefully crafted drinks headline the bar program, paired with light fare including sliders, flatbreads, and sweets. The venue offers live music and opens Wednesday through Saturday evenings, creating an intimate and consistently memorable experience in the heart of Midtown.
