New York City pulsates with energy and, depending on your state of mind, you can either be thankful for your current, serene disposition or take the time to gather energy for your next adventure. Either way, you’re sure to find yourself in a New York state of mind when you drink in the NYC cityscape from the Park Terrace Hotel.
