We're talking about Glass Bar at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Indigo+New+York+City+Chelsea/local/1021">Hotel Indigo Chelsea</a>. When it opened, we predicted that it could be 'a more affordable and low-key alternative to the more scene-tastic rooftop bars in the city'and that's just what we found when we dropped by around 6 p.m. on Saturday. In fact, when we first stepped off the elevator and approached the bar, we were the only drinkers in sight. This was fine with us, but scenesters looking for a little companionship and conviviality may need

Sure, it's mere days away from the Fourth of July weekend, but that doesn't mean there aren't still hotel rooms to be had in New York City. This is the home of Lady Liberty, after all!

Actually, it may be the only joy of summer in the city, since it's so stinking hot and you feel like a loser if you don't score an invite to someone's beach house, country house, or Brooklyn backyard. But if you find yourself stuck in town this summer, at least you'll have plenty of options for outdoor drinking, courtesy of all the new hotels with rooftop bars and terraces.

With the Westminster dog show right around the corner, our most pressing reaction to this news is: Where will all the doggies sleep if the Hotel Penn is pulled down? The hotel is the unofficial headquartersand preferred toiletfor the show dogs and their people during Westminsterand a wonderful place to pooch-and-people watch
