Another midtown rooftop bar close to Glenwood midtown west buildings is The Refinery Rooftop Bar in The Refinery Hotel.

Gallow Green

If you live on the Westside, head straight over to Gallow Green in Chelsea, located atop The McKittrick Hotel (which is not actually a hotel, rather an interactive theater–also a super fun thing to check out this summer!) Gallow Green is a top notch rooftop restaurant because it’s absolutely covered in greenery, making it feel like an enchanted forest. There’s plenty of pretty blooms scattered about, as well as benches and little alcoves for catching a side conversation. Combine that with long picnic tables covered in delicate tea lights, and you truly feel as though you’ve stepped onto the set of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”… spectacular! The menu here includes group favorites such as pizzas, summer salads, and lobster rolls, all of which are ideal for sharing. And don’t forget the Nutella Calzone for dessert!

Also, they feature a weekend brunch every Saturday and Sunday from 11am until 4pm (weather permitting), which is an all you can eat buffet-style with live entertainment, for $39 a person. Truly ideal for Glenwood residents living at the Emerald Green and Crystal Green.

Mr. Purple

For Downtown residents, take a stroll over east and check out Mr. Purple on the 15th floor of Hotel Indigo on the Lower East Side. This chic rooftop features a pool nestled between comfy deck chairs, as well as plenty of couches and tables for dining. You can start your day early with brunch at 11am (we recommend the Blackberry Yogurt Bowl or Avocado Smash), and extend until late into the night with dinner (try the Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sliders or the Mr. Purple Burger for a real summertime grill taste). We promise you, Mr. Purple offers views for days! Seriously, you’ll be reveling at the Empire State Building and the rest of Manhattan and Brooklyn in all their glory–not only a great spot to come for locals, but a top-notch place to bring out of town visitors so they can really take in the city from above! A truly great go-to for residents at Liberty Plaza.

Refinery Rooftop

For those residents living in Midtown East, head on over to the Refinery Rooftop for your fabulous summertime rooftop experience. There will be music, mixologists, a trendy industrial vibe, and plenty of couch and table seating. Lunch and dinner are where it’s at here, so plan to go hungry for their Seared Yellowfin Tuna, Grilled Hanger Steak Flatbread, or Little Gem Caesar Salad with watermelon radish and frico. Also good to note, they have a huge menu available for folks with dietary restrictions: think restrictions with gluten, garlic, nuts, dairy, shellfish, soy, and pork. Wow! After finishing your dinner, head downstairs to Winnie’s Jazz Bar to catch a live set before heading home. What a perfect summer-in-the-city night out!

Another wonderful rooftop restaurant to add to your list before summer’s end is Serra, which we recently did an in-depth review of! And here’s our guide to six rooftop bars to check out this summer from a few years back–all of which are still sunny and popping, and will keep you well hydrated until summer’s inevitable end.

The post Rooftop Restaurants You Have To See Before Summer Is Over appeared first on NYC Luxury Apartments for Rent | Glenwood Management.

It’s sort of the holy grail of summertime after-work fun here in NYC, finding that perfect rooftop bar, with cool breezes, spectacular views, first-rate drinks, and a friendly crowd of fellow revelers. It helps, too, if you don’t have to deal with impossible wait times or snooty staffers… and if the drinks don’t cost a small fortune–call it a “view tax”—then all the better!

Find Your Favorite Rooftop Bar

Like any other choice of watering hole (or, in this case, watering aerie), your favorite rooftop bar is a personal thing, but here are some suggestions to get you get started:

1. At night, and especially on weekends, Le Bain and the Rooftop Bar at the Standard Highline attracts the sort of crowd you would expect from a Meatpacking District hotspot, but if you go for an afternoon refreshment, the scene is chill, the people-watching pleasant, and the view among the best in town.
2. Also making most lists around the internet is the Upper West Side’s Empire Hotel, whose 12th-floor outdoor space offers lovely views of Central Park and Lincoln Center.
3. The Ides at the Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg (above) also deserves a mention, because the drinks here are as excellent as the views of Manhattan on the other side of the river, but don’t even try to coming here during any sort of prime time unless you want to get on line.
4. For a rooftop bar with personality, you can’t beat Gallow Green, atop the McKittrick Hotel, home to the smash, interactive theatrical hit, loosely based on Macbeth, Sleep No More. This feels like another world from the one down there on the streets, with vintage decor (including a battered rail car, which is by the way best seat in the house), lush greenery, and live old-time jazz.
5. Speaking of personality, the Hudson Bar on West 58th Street is always good for a goof, with its fantastical decor and themed rooms. Plus, there’s usually decent food available.
6. And for a more minimalist approach–aka, nothing to distract from the jaw-dropping views of the Midtown towers and the Hudson River–the place to drink is the Press Lounge at Ink48. It’s not cheap (none of these places are), and it’s all the way over on 11th Avenue and 48th, but for a weeknight summertime adventure, this is definitely a solid plan.

All of these and more are just a few ways to spend your summer! Afraid of heights? Check out some of NYC’s best destination parks or the artwork at the High Line this year! And let us know in the comments: What is your favorite way to spend your summer in NYC?
