Before you book
Coming from Aura Hotel Times Square
We're not the closest dinner to the Aura. Come for the roof and the DJ, not for a quick bite before bed. At about 21 min on foot, a cab makes sense.
Going to a show? The Belasco is about 2 min from your hotel and about 21 min from our door, so plan your night around that gap.
It's a party up here, with a live DJ every night we're open, so it's loud. If you want a quiet dinner, we're the wrong call. We're closed on Mondays.
Cantina Rooftop is a separate restaurant, with no connection to the Aura. How to find us →
