Decadent appetizers will reflect Southern cuisine in their luscious decadence, the perfect addition to a lineup of entertainment via a live Dixieland band and live coverage of the Kentucky Derby on multiple big screens.
With a taxi acting as your noble steed, charge to the finish line which just so happens to be one of the most stunning rooftop spaces in the city...
Featured in The New York Times, Condé Nast Traveler, and Harper's Bazaar, The Empire Rooftop is the embodiment of New York City urban sophistication and the perfect place to celebrate The 145th Kentucky Derby.
Now under the umbrella of Hospitality Holdings (Madison & Vine, The Carnegie Club), the locale's picturesque rooftop has acted as an elegant oasis perched high above the Lincoln Center.
Whether you’re in it for the horses, The Empire Rooftop's trendy decor, or the hopes of winning prizes for the Best Dressed Couple, Best Hat, and Best Fascinator, there's something for everyone.
Race to get your complimentary Mint Julep upon arrival, followed by lavish drink specials throughout the day. Beers and wines will be in ample supply, as well as 3 Julep creations that utilize premium spirits from Ketel One and Bulleit.
Other specialty cocktails include the Derby Mule (Bulleit Bourbon, fresh lime juice, ginger beer), Peach Sweet Tea (Ketel One Botannical Peach and orange blossom, mint syrup, peach tea), and the Horse's Neck (Bulleit Bourbon, ginger ale, dash of angostura), all for an exclusive price available to attendees.
