Starbucks Reserve Empire State Building is the new top destination in New York City
In the most iconic location of the Big Apple you will enjoy an immersive and involving experience
NEW YORK, NY — November 23, 2022
Starbucks recently opened its new Reserve store at the Empire State Building, and what a treat for all New Yorkers and everyone who visits the ‘City that never sleeps.’
An impressive three-floor hub where you can enjoy an immersive experience surrounded by soft lights and a revisited Art Deco style embellished by the murals of New York-based artist Dana Tanamachi.
The Concourse level is dedicated to innovation and immersive coffee experiences with coffee workshops and guided tasting flights that are unique to this store, in addition to the newest feature by the Seattle-based company, the cold-pressed espresso.
The first floor at street level is a spacious coffee house with a wide selection of offers, art installations, and unique branded products.
The second floor, the bar & restaurant level, is the real tidbit of Starbucks' latest endeavor, which presents a wide menu of uniquely crafted cocktails.
I tried the Big Apple Blossom, poured for four as an “experience” from a special glass-serving carafe with Dorothy Parker gin, pear brandy, and other liquors, and I tried the lasagna alla bolognese, and the mixed bites board, a selection of squared slices of rustic pizzas.
I have to say, everything was really delicious! And I'm really curious to explore the whole menu.
I really like this new trend initiated by Starbucks, focused on fewer retail locations but more Reserve stores, where the customer can fully enjoy a relaxing, immersive ambiance and, if you are a coffee-lover like I am, you can discover new flavors and interesting mixes.
Definitely, a must-see for anybody who wants to give themselves, their friends, and their family a unique New York experience.
