230 Fifth Rooftop Bar

230 Fifth presents a rather grand stage for your urban perching, with the Empire State Building playing its part, quite literally, as the main act. One imagines the architect, a true Romantic, dreaming of all those tiny heads craning upwards, perhaps even spilling a spritz or two. It’s a very American sort of bigness, this roof, designed for many bodies to collectively gaze. Go when the late afternoon sun illuminates the brick.
