At a New Bar, It's Not Just the Drinks That Will Be on Ice Global warming won't matter once you step into the Minus5° Ice Bar, coming this spring to the New York Hilton, 1335 Avenue of the Americas (54th Street). The New York edition of this crystalline, all-ice bar, where the tables, chairs, lounges and even glasses are made of ice, is being developed by Minus5°, a company based in New Zealand that has already added its bars to the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and the Monte Carlo Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. The ice comes from Canada, but the glasses are frozen from Artesian well water in New Zealand. The place is decorated with ice sculptures, and there are various Arctic (or Antarctic) decorative elements throughout. Visitors, who can buy drinks only, no food, are given boots, hats and parkas, some with faux fur. There's a basic fee (starting at $17 in Las Vegas), and various packages that include one or more drinks, and perks like photographs, for up to $75. Vodka is the specialty, but other libations, including beer, will also be served.
