THERE have been a few changes taking place at the city's Point Hotel on Bread Street. Not only was its restaurant relaunched this month as the Bread Street Brassiere, but on February 24 its new Sky Bar will open its doors.

Aptly named, the penthouse suite will be transformed on the last Thursday of every month to create the bar, serving as the perfect after-work/late-night retreat.
