About Starchild
Twenty-seventh floor above West 48th Street, a few blocks from the theatres and the crush of Times Square, which means the noise of Hell's Kitchen stays firmly downstairs while the skyline does the talking. Doors open at 5 PM Tuesday through Saturday, early enough for the sunset hour and the after-work wave; Thursday, Friday and Saturday it runs to 2 AM and fills with couples, young professionals and a fair share of visitors. Modern Australian plates and table service anchor the $$$ spend, with lounge and chill house early on giving way to commercial hits as the room picks up. Smart casual is enforced, the policy skews 30-plus, and drinking is 21-plus. It runs year-round and closes Sunday and Monday, so plan around the weekend stretch.
