NEW YORK — In the sweltering summer heat, New Yorkers are ready for the big chill — in midtown Manhattan.
The city's first ice bar is now open at the New York Hilton Midtown on Sixth Avenue. The $20 admission includes Eskimo-style gloves and a parka for the privilege of drinking cocktails in the freezing Minus5 Ice Bar.
The entire bar is made of ice.
"The walls, everything," manager Chris Eldridge said. "The chairs you're sitting on, the glass you're drinking out of, even the light above your head is made of ice."

Promoters say it's all carved out of "100 percent Canadian ice."
The truth is, it's special, extra-clear "carvers" ice — some from Canada, the rest from Philadelphia, Las Vegas and Minneapolis.
About 350 blocks of it, each weighing up to 100 pounds, was used to create the cool surroundings that are meant to feel good on a Manhattan afternoon when temperatures soared into the 90s. Guests are accompanied to the meat locker-type bar door by "party starters" — hostesses clad in bustiers who don't venture into the cold.

The temperature inside? A soothing 23 degrees Fahrenheit.
