Popular rooftop barbecue package returns to The Kitano New York this summer

A longstanding New York tradition of summer rooftop relaxation will soon return to The Kitano New York with the hotel’s special rooftop barbecue packages. With its breathtaking backdrop of the Empire State, MetLife and Chrysler buildings, and the historic Murray Hill area of New York, The Kitano New York‘s outdoor rooftop space offers one of the most sought after views in the city. From Memorial Day through Labor Day 2008, The Kitano is offering two barbecue meal options for summer entertaining, the “Rooftop Barbecue Burgers” and the “Rooftop Manhattan Clam Bake.” The “Rooftop Barbecue Burgers” menu features a selection of items including Certified Black Angus beef burgers, lamb chops and roasted corn on the cob, while the “Rooftop Manhattan Clam Bake” offers items such as fresh littleneck clams, Blue Point oysters and whole Maine lobster. Both barbecue packages also offer a variety of salads and sides, condiments and a choice of beverages, including alcoholic beverages such as bottled beer and red and white sangria. The barbecue package rates begin at $75 per person, with a minimum of 25 guests, and include food and beverage costs.
