Igloos
This winter, travelers and locals can welcome the season with a feast of VASO's unparalleled tapas and handcrafted cocktails with stunning rooftop views - no matter the temperature. Even though the patio is closed, the seasonal igloos have officially made their return providing a life-sized, snow globe-like experience under the stars, complete with cozy fur-covered chairs, blankets, call pods and twinkling lights.
The details: Each igloo seats up to 8. Sunday - Thursday, $300 spending minimum for two hours. Friday - Saturday, $500 spending minimum for two hours. All rates are a food and beverage spending minimum prior to tax and an automatic 22% gratuity. Any food + beverage that is ordered during your experience will go towards this minimum.
