As Seen in Men’s Journal: The Ready Cantina Shines with a Retractable Rooftop at Moxy East Village
The Ready Cantina at Moxy East Village just grabbed the spotlight in Men’s Journal, and it’s no surprise why. The vibrant rooftop venue is celebrated for its bold flavors, colorful cocktails, and unbeatable skyline views. But the real secret to its all-season buzz? A fully retractable glass roof that keeps the party going 365 days a year. 
In the article, Men’s Journal highlights the Cantina’s updated design, complete with hand-painted murals and Mexican-inspired flair, as well as a refreshed menu of fun bites and frozen drinks. But it’s the versatility of the space, which is open rain or shine, that truly sets it apart.
“At our Moxy hotels, we view rooftops as more than just amenities. They are essential expressions of New York City’s energy,” said Mitchell Hochberg, President of Lightstone. “The newly refreshed Ready Cantina at Moxy East Village captures the spirit of the neighborhood and brings it to life with unmistakable local character and bold south-of-the-border flavors.”
That energy stays high all year thanks to the retractable enclosure, which allows guests to enjoy the rooftop no matter the weather. Whether it’s winter cocktails under the stars or a summer sunset with a 100-ounce Beerita tower, The Ready’s roof makes it possible. 
Matt Strauss, Senior VP of NY Hotel Operations, added, “People come here for all kinds of reasons—celebration toasts, post-work drinks, fun dinners—and my personal favorite: long-overdue catch-ups that turn into unforgettable nights.”
The Ready Cantina proves what Roll-A-Cover clients already know: when you invest in a retractable roof, you’re not just creating a rooftop, you’re creating a destination.
