No Need to BYO Snuggie to <em>This</em> Roof Bar

How many times have you arrived at a roof party only to realize that you left your Snuggie at home? Probably never, but just in case, this winter the rooftop garden bar 230 Fifth has you covered. Literally. Owner Steven Greenberg has purchased 1,000 Snuggie-esque fleece hooded robes for outdoor use at the Flatiron district lounge. He tells us this is the third year he's supplied them to guests; during the first season he bought 300, and by spring they were all gone due to theft. He then restocked with 500 last year, but by the end only 300 remained. But instead of lining the robes with GPS-rigged explosives programmed to detonate a block away, Greenberg just bought another thousand. So don't feel too bad if you wake up back at home still wearing yours.

Flatiron Chef Arrested For Alleged Halloween Sexual Assault

A chef at the penthouse lounge 230 Fifth was arrested on Halloween after allegedly forcing himself on a Canadian woman dressed as a sexy lion. As the club's party was winding down at 3 a.m. on Sunday, 28-year-old Carlos Angel "pounced" on the woman as she came out of a restroom and shoved her back inside, sources say. He kissed her repeatedly while groping her, but she managed to slip away and alert a manager—who actually did the right thing by calling the police, not trying to hush it up!
