    This swanky midtown spot is offering a special menu of hot drinks this season. Order the Lauren in the winter. This tea-based cocktail ($18) made with Hennessy VSOP, Teatulia Organic Tea, and honey. Read more

    Take the elevators to your left as you walk in. Somebody at the desk will point you in the right direction if you miss it. Expensive drinks but a great view on a nice clear day.

    Came here Christmas eve night. Enjoyed their sleigh chocolate drink, cauliflower croquets and sliders. Wasn't impressed with their Christmas decor as heavily publicized.

    The swanky, nautically inflected lounge atop the 29-story Viceroy features a 1,200-square-foot terrace with postcardworthy vistas of midtown and Central Park.

    UD: If Jordan Belfort’s yacht had run aground 26 floors above Manhattan, it’d look a little something like this: a wooded belowdecks vibe and epic views of Central Park.

    Cocktails were $18, but expertly made, so they are worth it. It's a small place, so get there early. They also take reservations.

    Amazing views and amazing drinks! Best midtown bar if your wallet can handle it. Great for dates and after work drinks

    Small outdoor space but gorgeous views. They start enforcing their reserved signs after 10 on a Saturday for that club feel. Pricey, but good wine selection. $14 for a less expensive choice (Malbec)

    What a view! 😍 What a price list! 😖 You pay for the scenery, but definitely a hot spot during spring & summer nights.

    Great view, and it's a bit hidden and hard to get to which keeps the crowds down. Cocktails are pretty pricey at $18

    Nice fairly quiet rooftop bar. A small glimpse of the length of Central Park from here. Good cocktail selection.

    Surprisingly unpretentious for the neighborhood (Tao and lavo are close by😒) great views and cocktails are killer.

    Have to do this at least once; get there early to beat the crowd! The grapefruit cocktail was refreshing.

    Try the deep fried artichokes, and if you want to enjoy the place quietly go there on Sunday night, only a few regulars :)

    Good view on Central Park. 15-20 per drink. Not much space. Good for a brunch🙃

    Nice place to meet friends for early drinks, it was too cold and rainy for the rooftop deck.

    People seemed very pretentious here. (Also, I've paid $20 for a mediocre Moscow Mule that wasn't even in a copper mug. I get that you pay for the view, but still disappointing...)

    Gorgeous view to the north, including Central Park. Grab a drink downstairs if there's a wait, and bring out-of-towners you want to impress.
