AT A LONELY HEIGHT

Sitting in the park? With friends on a rug? Halfway through a bottle of rosé? It doesn’t get much better than that. But, give it a try. Close your eyes and relocate everyone to a rooftop terrace in New York. Admit, that’s much better. After some solid empirical research, amayzine.com presents to you the best bars with the greatest views. Just book tonight and go. Even if it’s only for the weekend.

1. Gansevoort Hotel

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

Reallly the number 1 place to go to. It’s situated in one of the better neighbourhoods, has a roof terrace pool unlike others, and you’ll feel very Sexy and the City because you’ll think you’re in that episode with Samantha faking a membership at that luxurious place to beat the heat. So go there, even if it’s only for a drink.

2. Hudson Hotel

356 W 58th St, New York, NY 10019

The more affordable variant but also really great. The bar isn’t always open so you might have to come up with your own liquid treat. You’ve got a divine view and delicious chairs and recliners. Here too a Sex and the City scene has been recorded. Remember when Samantha left Smith waiting for a shag with Richard? Well, it was taped there. All in the Hudson Hotel.

3. The Boom Boom Room, the Standard Hotel

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

The Standard Hotel’s definitely a must-see. André Balazs, Uma Thurman’s ex, created the most sexy hotel of New York. Windows from floor to ceilings in front of which many guests enjoy making love. You either ‘do’ the Miles High Cluc or the Standard. Or both. That’s okay too. But the terrace is a true party. Make sure you look a bit up-to-date otherwise the waitress might just inform you that all the tables have been booked. The Boom Boom Room wishes a thin and stylish clientele.
