Park Views From a 35th-Floor Lounge

MO Lounge sits high above Central Park inside the Mandarin Oriental. Perched on the 35th floor, it pairs Manhattan skyline views with seasonal American and Asian fusion plates. The menu brings Chinese classics such as wonton soup into the rotation. Service is described as attentive and welcoming, letting the meal hold its own alongside the view.

Guests recommend asking for a window table for the most direct perspective of the city below. The lounge opens at 7 AM daily, and stays open until 11 PM Sunday through Wednesday, then midnight Thursday through Saturday. It sits at 80 Columbus Circle, above the park and close to the skyline. Choose it for an early meal with a view, or save it for dinner, when the seasonal menu and the high floor can share the focus. The skyline, seasonal menu, and window table option give the evening a clear shape.
