A Cozy Rooftop Winter Garden
If snuggling on comfy pillows with a warm throw, snacking on fondue and raclette, and sipping a hot toddy sounds like your kind of winter fun, High George might be your kind of place. The rooftop restaurant and bar at The Blake Hotel, 9 High Street, New Haven has been transformed into a winter garden with a new winter menu and hot cocktails. The rooftop space—decorated with snow-covered pine trees and branches, twinkling lights, winter blankets and pillows, lanterns, and candle-lit tables—will be open this winter Wednesday through Saturdays, 5 p.m. to closing, with Happy Hour specials from 5 to 7 p.m. On the menu: charcuterie, butternut bisque, mushroom skewers, chicken schnitzel, kale and apple salad, and dark chocolate fondue for dessert. Seasonal cocktails include Spiked Lodge Hot Chocolate, Grand Central Cider, a hot toddy pot, mulled wine, and house-made mulled cider.
