It was convenient but a little dull at that hour. I would much, much rather be under the parachute at the Tabard. I used to go there for after-work cocktails.

The food, drinks and atmosphere are a well rounded mix. My favorite of the three is Helix. I think Kimpton has done a good job with their hotel lounges.

The hotel upstairs is very nice, too. The rooms are modern and unique, and it's a real bargain compared to the bigger hotels in town.
