Spend New Year's Eve 2010 at the glamorous Stone Rose and have a New Year's celebration with true New York flair.

The most glamorous party in Manhattan is located at the premier address of Manhattan, Stone Rose at the Time Warner Center. Rated as the swankiest lounge in New York City by Vogue Magazine, Stone Rose emanates style and sophistication. The creation of hotel-bar titan Rande Gerber, Stone Rose, is an expansive 5,500 square foot lounge located on the fourth floor of the prestigious five-star Time Warner Center, unequivocally the most celebrated address on the perimeter of Central Park.

Known the world over as the lounge destination for the privileged and the beautiful, Stone Rose at the Time Warner Center has played host to many celebrities, socialites, fashionistas and young financiers

Stone Rose exudes a sensual aura where the lights are dim and the energy is high. The sweeping views from the expansive floor to ceiling walls of windows overlooking Central Park and Columbus Circle are incomparable. Stone Rose, a perfect backdrop to ring in 2009! The decor of posh banquettes, plush sofas and geometric chairs accents the sexual undertones of STONE (masculinity) and ROSE (femininity). The contrasting elements define this watering hole to the fabulous. The cool marble dance floor will heat up with a world renowned DJ spinning sets of hip hop, rock, dance and 80's and the warm rosewood paneled nooks sets the perfect ambiance for when you want to chill.

Stone Rose is your New Year's Eve 2010 destination of choice to revel, romance, dance & merry-make!

• Pros: Tickets Limited

Too cool for school

I don't even know where to begin...

Last week a date took me to Stone Rose for drinks and the view. The view was great. That was the only thing that was great. The service was the worst I have had anywhere! The bouncer was flirting with some girl on our way in and didn't even notice us standing there until we asked to be seated. He was very nice as he was seating us, but it was the beginning of a very long evening.

We waited for 10 minutes before anyone even took our order and our waitress treated us like we were a major inconvenience. We could see her standing near the bar talking and flirting with the bouncer while we sat and waited for our drinks. (Same thing happened when we wanted to order another round, which took another 15 minutes just to flag her down). The waitresses all acted like they were hot s**t and wayyyy to busy to be bothered to serve drinks...you know, it's not like it's their job or anything! I hate to break it to you, but tiny skirts, boots and cleavage don't cover up the fact that most of you are way past your prime in a job you probably took while you attempted to "make it big" elsewhere. Good luck, I hope you like waitressing.

We tried to make the best of the situation, after all the view really is beautiful, but the flirtatious staff and long waits for expensive drinks made this a terrible date. An hour and a half and two drinks later we decided to go elsewhere. On our way out the staff was too busy to say goodbye and the bouncer was busy fliritng again. (What is this place a big singles bar for the staff to meet people?!!)

There are plenty of places that are more accommodating and not as stuck up as Stone Rose. I would not recommend this place to anyone but people on business meetings with corporate cards and no souls (they will fit right in).

• Pros: The view is amazing
• Cons: The staff is in high school

Let's get ready to rumble!

Stone Rose on a Saturday night is laden with half nked chubby 25 year-olds staring at their own reflections while practicing dance moves on the bathroom line. Egotistical bouncers named Andre pick fights wtih patrons in order to showcase their old high school wrestling moves (see other posts, this is not a one off incident). Staff breathe down your neck and tell you whatever spot you are standing in is 'reserved,' after they use the threat of Andre's Full Nelson to make you move. The recession will hopefully force this place to learn some manners. Spend your hard earned money at an establishment that actually values its customers.
