The Box House Hotel is a boutique hotel and rooftop restaurant brand that offers "apartment-style" suites. It's located between the northern part of greenpoint brooklyn, and LIC Queens with views of the Manhattan skyline. When you walk through the doors, you're greeted with colorful & homey vibes via the modern decors. Once you get to the rooftop, you'll immediately notice the slight shift in your visual experience from the bright and cheerfulness in the lobby, to a more tropical focus with greeneries. Of course the space gets bright during the day, and transforms to a more dimly-lit n' chill vibes post sunset hours with heated lamps.
For this venue feature, I had the pleasure of tasting a few selections from the menu, two of their best cocktails, small bites and a special shot.
BITES
PUMPKIN HUMMUS
• pepitas | sweet peppers | fried chickpeas
Loved this dish, the pita bread was fresh and soft... hummus spread was clean and presentable, a delicious choice for starting off your dining experience/visit.
VOLCANO ROLL
• Yellow fin tuna | nori | chipotle aioli | unag
loved everything about this bite, from the fin tuna, drizzled sauce and added bits of crunch atop the roll.
COCKTAILS
SMOKE & PEAR
• tequila | mezcal | strega | elderflower | pear liqueur | lemon
This is a smoky & sweet lover, it will caress your senses if you like that kind of combo

BOTH drinks were amazing, and highly recommend.
