The Sentry Flatiron
A well-appointed rooftop is about as good as it gets when it comes to complying with pandemic protocols while dining out. At this new 18th-floor perch atop the Hotel Henri, the Midtown views are an added bonus. The Sentry is the work of Parched Hospitality, founded by Barry Dry with Tom Rowse and the chef Brent Hudson as partners; the three also own the Hole in the Wall restaurants. Mr. Rowse said the space could be divided to accommodate smaller groups, up to 10, in semiprivate areas. During the day, it’s a club for hotel guests. After 5 p.m., the general public is admitted for drinks and small plates of Impossible sausages, crispy pork with chile paste and fish sauce caramel, and salt-and-pepper squid with fried curry leaves and Kewpie mayonnaise. Drinks are the responsibility of Gates Otsuji and Jeremy Ortiz, who own Controlled Substances, a bar consulting company. (Opens Thursday)
