It’s basically a cake… except that it’s a sandwich. The nighttime spot is known for its shareable cocktails, many of which come served in hilarious drink delivery devices - like disco balls: The food and drinks at Magic Hour are just as spectacular-looking as the bar itself is - and many of them tap into that same sense of nostalgia gone grown-up that, say, a naughty mini-golf course and a lounge-y carousel do.
You can order them off the menu at $99 a pop. Oh, and if you indulge a little too much on any given night, you can also book a “Crashpad” in the hotel itself: A bit more basic than Moxy’s actual rooms (although still cute, from what I can see via photographs), the Crashpads are each 120 square feet and have a twin bed and a flat-screen TV.

Booze plus carousel horses is usually a recipe for disaster. Instead of horses and unicorns, it’s got cushy benches with tables for your drinks… which, honestly, is probably for the best. However, Foreplay isn’t the only bright and sparkly activity available for those who choose to spend their evening at Magic Hour there’s also a topiary garden, incredible views of the Empire State Building, and tons of bars and seating areas, each with a different vibe - including one that’s literally a carousel. I’m not sure it quite reaches Jessica Rabbit levels of intensity, but it’s pretty close. It certainly is eye-catching scattered throughout the course are statues of animals, each positioned in a sexy, come-hither-style pose. Located high atop the Times Square location of the Moxy Hotel - Marriott’s boutique brand - and created by restaurant and nightlife company TAO Group, Magic Hour bills itself as “New York City’s largest indoor/outdoor hotel rooftop bar and lounge” featuring an “urban amusement park with adult sensibilities.” You might recall it making a splash when it opened in the fall of 2017 at the time, its mini-golf course, Foreplay, was the big headliner, drawing in attention for its flirty, risqué theming. It’s basically everything my 8-year-old self ever wanted out of life, except that it’s definitely, definitely for grownups. I haven’t lived in New York for about five years now, but I still frequently find myself missing it - and now, I really, really wish I had a trip planned to it in the near future: I just found about the Magic Hour Rooftop Bar and Lounge, which has carousel seating, mixes up drinks inside actual disco balls, and serves giant - and I do mean giant - ice cream sandwiches.
