1) The Skylark
For midtown revelers, enjoy your libations with a gorgeous view of the Empire State building and downtown Manhattan.

2) The Roof, Viceroy New York
This upscale rooftop bar has a picturesque view of Central Park, the perfect setting for a sunset Instagram. Look out for cool DJs providing the soundtrack for your Friday and Saturday nights.

3) Top of the Standard, High Line
While this rooftop isn’t new it did just get a serious makeover during the Fall of 2013—so this year if you’re lucky enough to make it to the top, you’ll enjoy the Havana-nights decor, as well as the resident chef Soa Davies’s fine Japanese BBQ from Robataya Grill.

4) The Jane Hotel
Maybe the most exclusive rooftop to hit for a drink this summer— the Jane’s rooftop is finally open to the public, but by appointment only.
