It was a bright and sunny Wednesday afternoon in August, the kind that calls for a relaxing glass of rosé, enjoyed at an Instagram-worthy spot at your vacation hotel.
But at the Out Hotel in New York last week, not a sipper was to be seen lounging at the hotel’s outdoor courtyard, with its white couches set on kelly-green AstroTurf and its look-above cityscape views.
Down on the ground floor, someone at the Lindeman, the restaurant and bar that can be accessed directly through the hotel’s lobby, must have agreed it was a pink-wine sort of moment: The bar was offering a rosé-and-oysters happy hour special.
