Lower Manhattan · The city, your way

Downtown, from two different angles.

Leonessa and Overstory both belong in a Lower Manhattan plan, but the locations, prices, and experiences are distinct.

West of the city streets: Leonessa

Leonessa is at the Conrad in Battery Park City, at 102 North End Avenue. Pair it with Brookfield Place and the Hudson waterfront. Its Italian-inspired cocktail menu and early weekday aperitivo offer make it a natural drinks stop after exploring the west side of downtown.

Above the Financial District: Overstory

Overstory is at 70 Pine Street, east of Broadway in the Financial District. Its 64th-floor lounge and wraparound terrace are a destination in their own right. A reserved table requires a $100 food-and-beverage minimum per person.

Choose the experience, then the route

Book Leonessa for a river-adjacent aperitivo plan or Overstory for a cocktail occasion high above the streets. Check walking directions from your final daytime stop; a shared “downtown” label does not mean the entrances are next to each other.

Arrival details matter

At Leonessa, use the marked elevators in the Conrad lobby for the 16th floor. At Overstory, enter 70 Pine Street and follow the venue’s instructions for the 63rd floor and stairs. Save those details before you go.
