The Glass Ceiling is just that, a beautiful rooftop cocktail lounge with a stunning glass ceiling sitting atop the city skyline in the heart of Nomad, Manhattan. The design adds a glamorous touch to the botanical theme, The Glass Ceiling is a “secret garden” in the sky. The space is multi-dimensional – shifting from a lounge serving light bites and cocktails to an intimate, curated events space. Featuring indoor and outdoor seating, show-stopping views of the Empire State Building, and an escape from your everyday urban routine.

The name ‘the glass ceiling’ has a higher purpose. It is a metaphor that has long been used to represent the invisible barriers that prevent women and underrepresented communities from rising beyond a certain level in a hierarchy. We’re empowering the community to break through ‘The Glass Ceiling’ with us. We have plenty to celebrate, and welcome ALL of those wanting to join us.

Our space was created as an oasis for all walks of life. We launched in partnership with Luminary, an inclusive membership-based career and personal growth platform and collaboration hub, (including an 11,000 sq ft physical space one floor below us), which was created to address the systemic challenges impacting women across all industries and sectors.
