Rooftop.

Rooftop bar is a bar located on the terrace of a building, typically a hotel. Imagine this: sun, a cool drink and an unparalleled view of Manhattan. Or, alternatively, a warm summer evening, cocktails and the lights of New York that form the backdrop. Is not it fantastic? That’s exactly why I made a list of the best rooftop bars in New York!
