The Roxy Hotel has a way of drawing guests out of their hotel rooms and ushering in the Downtown creative set off the sidewalk. By day, the hotel is buzzing with impromptu meetings and freelance energy, and by night you’ll find DJs spinning vinyl, live jazz performances, and film screenings curated for “not-so-general” audiences. The Roxy’s classic American menu is available from sun up to lights out, while Sunday’s leisurely brunch is a standing date among New York’s Downtown dwellers.
