We want to transport our guests to a luxurious winter wonderland like they’ve never experienced,” said Iris Tang, Partner and Brand Director of El Grupo SN. “Instead of a cabin-like vibe, we opted to give our teardrop shape igloos a more luxurious feel by adding a plush loveseat, carpet, fireplaces as well as pampas grass, scented candles, and golden sculptures to complete the display.” “Somewhere Nowhere is about creating a sensory-driven experience and we decided to take it one step further with the addition of our new winter menu and limited-edition igloo offering,” said Sameer Qureshi, Co-Founder of El Grupo SN. “Through our Teardrop Igloos, we created a luxurious feel like you’re dining in a snow globe with the most picturesque views--- dining amongst the stars and staring into the city’s lights and skyline. The most unique experience you can find.” For pricing information or to purchase tickets, please visit: https://somewherenowherenyc.com/reservations/ ABOUT SOMEWHERE NOWHERE NYC Somewhere Nowhere NYC, a two-level indoor lounge and open-air rooftop pool venue, sits at the top of the Renaissance New York Chelsea Hotel located at 112 W 25th St, on the 38 and 39th floors.
