When the workday ends and the temperatures finally cool off, New Yorkers head upward. Rooftop bars become one of the best places to catch up with friends or celebrate a special occasion. If you’re looking for a place to catch the sunset, these rooftops are worth a visit.
Rooftops Worth the Climb
Every rooftop offers a different perspective of the city. And with a city like New York, no two rooftop views are exactly alike. These rooftops deserve a spot on your list.
- 230 Fifth puts the Empire State Building front and center, along with one of the largest rooftop spaces in Manhattan.
- Refinery Rooftop is just a few blocks from the Empire State Building. It’s a favorite for Midtown views without the crowds below.
- Westlight brings you to Williamsburg, where the Manhattan skyline shows out across the East River, and the city lights begin to take over after sunset.
- Overstory rises above the Financial District with views of New York Harbor, the East River, and several of the city’s most recognizable bridges.
- Nubeluz pairs floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views from NoMad. A popular choice for date nights and special occasions.
Reservations fill quickly on warm evenings, especially around sunset, so it’s worth planning ahead if one of these rooftops is on your summer bucket list.
