Midtown Manhattan recently welcomed Minus 5 to its repertoire
of tourist attractions. Located in the lobby of the New York Hilton Manhattan,
the ice bar opened earlier this month. The venue, which is essentially an
enormous walk-in freezer, has a temperature of 23 degrees Fahrenheit.
For a $20 fee, guests are provided with disposable gloves
and parkas. Cocktails are served in ice glasses, or “in the rocks”, and the
cavern is decorated with ice sculptures, an ice bar, and ice benches. The
ambience is set with a reel of Top 40 hits such as “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”.
The Manhattan location is actually the third in the U.S.; two similar scenes
can be found in Las Vegas.
VIP reservations can also be made through the hotel. For a
fee of $95, this experience includes a drink, a photo and a take-away hat.
