This lively hotspot on the top floor of the famed Peninsula hotel allows dramatic, sweeping views of many of Manhattan's architectural gems from its east and west terraces. A favorite with New York's business crowd, The Salon de Ning offers just the right amount of Chinoiserie, and is open from 4:00 pm in the summer and from 5:00 pm in the winter. It is also available for private parties, from May to October, weather permitting.
