Italian aperitivo meets a downtown rooftop at Leonessa, above the Conrad in Battery Park City. Come for a spritz after a waterfront walk and make the river part of the evening.
Why choose Leonessa?
The cocktail menu has a clear point of view: spritzes, bitters, martinis, and Italian-inspired signatures. Its west-side location makes sense after visiting Brookfield Place or exploring the Hudson waterfront.
Know before you book
This is a cocktail stop, rather than a substitute for a full dinner reservation. Private events can also affect availability.
Getting in
Use the marked elevators in the Conrad New York Downtown lobby to reach the 16th floor. The venue welcomes walk-ins; reserve through Resy for a planned visit.
What it costs
Monday–Thursday, 4–6pm: listed spritz and bitters selections are $18. Regular cocktails include $22–$28 options; three listed alcohol-free drinks are $15.
When the weather changes
Confirm terrace conditions directly with the venue before a weather-dependent visit.
Make a night of it
The hotel is in Battery Park City. Do not confuse it with Midtown or assume that every “downtown rooftop” is a quick walk away.
