At lonely heights

Are you in the park? With friends on a blanket? Halfway through a bottle of rosé? There’s not much better than that. But, give it a try. Close your eyes and move the whole group to a rooftop terrace in New York. Admit it, that’s even better. After thorough empirical research, amayzine.com presents the best bars with the finest view. Just book it tonight and go. Even if it’s just for a weekend.

1. Gansevoort Hotel

18 Ninth Avenue (at 13th) New York NY 10014

Definitely still at number 1. It’s located in one of the better neighborhoods, it has one of the few rooftop pools, and you feel incredibly Sex and the City because you immediately think of that episode where it sizzles with heat and Samantha pretends to be a member. So that’s where you go, even if it’s just for a drink.

2. Hudson Hotel

356 W 58th St, New York, NY 10019

This is a more affordable option but also a lot of fun. The bar isn’t always open, so in that case, you have to take care of some liquid treats yourself. You have a delicious view and lovely sofas and loungers. By the way, a Sex and the City scene was also filmed here. Do you remember when Samantha Smith makes everyone wait downstairs and goes upstairs for some quick romance with Richard? Well, that’s where. All in the Hudson Hotel.

3. The Boom Boom Room, the Standard Hotel

848 Washington St (West 13th St, Meatpacking District)

The Standard Hotel is definitely a must-see. André Balazs, Uma Thurman’s ex, created the sexiest hotel in New York. Floor-to-ceiling windows where many guests happily make love. Whether you’re part of the Miles High Club, or you do it in the Standard. Or both. That’s fine too. But the terrace, that’s a party. Make sure you look a bit up to date because otherwise, the waitress might just say that all tables are reserved. The Boom Boom Room likes its clientele to be slim and stylish.
