The name Dusk Til Dawn conjures apparitions of dead Texas cowboys and haunted brothels in the Mexican desert, but the movie by Robert Rodriguez had no influence on the sixth-floor sunrise bar of the same name on Street 172, where Bob Marley and Gambian art embellish the walls, panoramic views surround the open-air rooftop lounge and the sounds of reggae play as free and easy as the sky-high breeze. The crowds are sometimes thin at dusk, when during rainy season the clouds are thick and the sunsets muted. But morning skies are clear and brilliant, and the crowds from across the way amble over at the end of the night to begin a new day.
Dusk Til Dawn, #46 Street 172; 017 839546.
