Another rooftop, another opportunity to observe Midtown’s relentless verticality. At Dear Irving on Broadway, the wraparound view comes with a certain distance, like watching a slightly manic ant farm from a comfortable height. One could almost forget the street-level chaos below, replaced by a panorama of glass and steel. It’s an American attempt at the grand vista, yet still feels less about lingering and more about experiencing the spectacle. Go for a late afternoon drink, as the setting sun glints off the surrounding towers.
