But guests at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Kimberly+Hotel/local/3588">Kimberly Hotel</a> in Manhattan get to enjoy awesome views of the city first thing in the morning, with free breakfasts in the rooftop lounge, Upstairs. A buffet spread will offer French toast, pancakes, oatmeal, pastries, omelets, bacon and hash browns. Though the usual cost of the meal is $25 per person, all guests will get it for free through the end of the month.

Tentatively titled Sky Lounge, the 25th-floor bar venue will be spread across the rooftop of both hotels. While a sleek, new bar is currently under construction on the Aloft side, the Sheraton side will be all outdoors.

But lo and behold, what did we find? A bunch of weird, white tubes sprouting up everywhere! Installed throughout the front courtyard and lobby, the collective tube total could easily have numbered in the thousands (and we weren't about to take the time to count). We're reminded of the "giant white tentacles" included in the design of <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hilton+Garden+Inn+Times+Square/local/4878">HGI Times Square</a>'s rooftop bar, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/5/31/104216/629/hotels/A_Hilton_Rooftop_Bar_Fit_For_A_French_King">XVI</a>.

At the bar. On the roof. To promote their summer movie series, which kicked off last week with a screening of Top Gun, the hotel bar is experimenting with new ways to give audiences the full movie experience. Mad46, where the movie nights are presented, is amping up the evenings with themed drinks, giveaways, trivia contests, and other prizes. Guests last week went home with free aviator sunglasses!
