NYC Winter Rooftop: Bar Hugo - Hobnob Magazine

Summary
Hobnob Magazine features Bar Hugo as a standout NYC winter rooftop destination, noting that the 18th floor of Hotel Hugo stays open year-round while most Manhattan rooftops shut down for the cold months. The piece highlights the dramatic views of the Hudson River and downtown icons like the Freedom Tower and 56 Leonard through the bar's signature wall of glass. The feature also spotlights the craft cocktail program, with hand-crafted drinks created by house mixologist Kevin Montaño, and calls out the weekday happy hour running Monday through Friday from 5 to 8 PM as a compelling reason to visit.
