The Highlight Room at Moxy Lower East Side July 4th Party
Event Description
The Highlight Room sits 16 stories above the Bowery inside the Moxy Lower East Side, and on July 4th this glamorous rooftop garden turns into one of downtown's best holiday parties. Glass walls on every side frame the Manhattan skyline from the Empire State Building to the Freedom Tower, and the outdoor terrace opens up for a potential view of the fireworks over the East River. It's a Tao Group venue, which means the DJ, the crowd, and the cocktails are all dialed in. If you know Loosie's downstairs, this is the upstairs counterpart: same building, completely different energy. Start the night up here with skyline views and craft cocktails, then take the elevator down when you're ready to dance until the late night.
The Venue
The Highlight Room is a glamorous indoor-outdoor rooftop bar on the 16th floor of Moxy Lower East Side at 145 Bowery, operated by Tao Group Hospitality. Designed by Michaelis Boyd, the 2,000-square-foot space evokes a 19th-century pleasure garden inspired by the historic German winter garden that once stood on the Bowery, with lush foliage spilling from the ceiling and a majestic tree spreading its branches across the room and outdoor terrace. Glass walls encase the interior on all sides and fold back to open the terrace, with views stretching north to the Empire State Building and south to the Freedom Tower. Two-toned leather and velvet banquettes line the north and south walls, positioned to take full advantage of the skyline through floor-to-ceiling windows. The Highlight Room is open Monday through Sunday and shares a building with Loosie's nightclub and Silver Lining Lounge on the floors below.
