Top Five Rooftop Bars in New York City

·        Empire Hotel- A personal favorite! Beautiful view, beautiful people, beautiful drinks, beautiful neighborhood. It’s all good! Location: Upper West Side by Lincoln Center and Central Park. Don’t miss the Mojito.  

·        Hotel Gansevoort-Chic and trendy hangout in the always hip Meatpacking District. You come to this top NYC roof lounge for the drinks but the food isn’t half bad either. If you want to place to sit come early, this place gets packed by 10p.m. 

·        A60-Members only roof top bar on the 13^th floor overlooking midtown. Celebrity hangout. If you can get up to this swanky NYC hot-spot it’s worth the effort because the view is fantastic and the drinks are delicious! 

·        Café Nicole-This is one of those best kept secrets because most New Yorkers stay away from this top NYC roof deck because it’s right in the heart of tourist central Times Square but it’s actually a great spot to take in the sights and have a cool drink! It’s on the seventh floor and there’s a great view of all the action that comes with Times Square. Try the weekends when hotel guests are out and about.   

·        The Maritime Hotel-This celebrity favorite rooftop bar in Chelsea always has a good vibe going on. The Cabanas Roof Bar knows how to shake things up, in a good way.
