Hotel Chantelle’s glass-covered rooftop mimics a Parisian garden, with vintage lampposts, greenery, and brunch-friendly plates that turn into bottle-service energy as the day goes on. It’s a Lower East Side standby for birthday brunches and late-night dancing where food, music, and rooftop air all share equal billing.
