What's better than brunch? How about brunch with a breathtaking view! Located atop the Graduate Hotel on Roosevelt Island, Panorama Room is a trendy and modern rooftop bar/lounge. It serves up fanciful cocktails and tasty small plates, as well as amazing views. The venue is perfectly situated on the East River to offer up the cityscape of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and even a bit of the Bronx.
I'm usually not a brunch guy, but I polished off my selection of brunch plates and was thoroughly impressed by each dish. The dishes were creative, decadent (caviar, quail eggs, and gold dust?), and highly Instagram-able. While this was not a boozy brunch (this time), I plan on coming back one evening to sample their cocktail offering and check out the night view. Come along for this food adventure!

Cooking isn’t an applied science to most. But for Megan Brown, the
restaurant serves as their lab. Brown is the executive chef at the
Graduate Hotel Roosevelt Island’s chic eateries Anything at All (think casual yet sophisticated university library) and the Panorama Room (a posh rooftop retreat). ...
... After dropping out of high school and becoming homeless, Brown
eventually earned a GED and decided to enroll in culinary school. “Food
saved my life,” says Brown....

The Roosevelt Island Panorama Roof rooftop bar at the Graduate Hotel opened only two weeks ago and has quickly become a destination attraction for local
residents and visitors to marvel at the one-of-a- kind NYC East River waterfront
and skyline views and enjoy a cocktail or two or three.

“You may not have had reason to venture to the tranquil enclave of Roosevelt
Island in the past but expect to see Panorama Room soon drawing the chic and
savvy in droves for serious cocktails with unrivaled views & consider
getting in while you still can.”

Roosevelt Island residents have been asking when the Panorama Room food menu
will be available? Here it is.
A Panorama Room representative adds:
Please keep in mind the menu is constantly changing right now. We want to
continue to build better practices and have the best menu possible for our
guests!
Roosevelt Island resident Adela Sinclaire is a poet, educator, avid reader of great books and enjoys a good glass of wine. Ms Sinclair and her friend Cristina Afodorcei have combined these interests and formed a new book club entitled Books and Wine Tastings.
We will meet in person with others once a month. We will set up different locations on Roosevelt Island and the City and announce these to our book club members.

Roosevelt Island F Train subway station provided the workout for a group of
NYC Bridgerunners
Afterwards, the NYC Bridgerunners enjoyed the view from Roosevelt Island's
new Panorama Room rooftop bar
at the Graduate Hotel and a tour from owners Med Abrous and Marc Rose.
