5 Rooftops We Can’t Wait to Party At
The unofficial start to summer has arrived and we are ready for all that it has to offer! Sunny skies and warm temperatures make for the ideal setting for outdoor activities. And one of those activities is exploring all the rooftop bars and restaurants that we can. We compiled a list of the rooftops we can’t wait to party at with friends, family, and coworkers this summer. If any are in your area, check them out for a small gathering or a large private event!
1. Green Fig — New York City
Who loves rooftops more than New Yorkers do?! When the summer comes, rooftops in NYC are popping with guests trying to enjoy the great weather, expensive cocktails, and gorgeous city views. Because — let’s face it — there is no such thing as a bad rooftop view when you’re in New York City. Green Fig, located on the rooftop of the Yotel hotel at 570 Tenth Ave, is no exception to this rooftop extravaganza. The East, Middle, and West sections of the rooftop allow for your group to spread out among the area and utilize as much or little space as needed. Summer coming is a reason in itself to celebrate, so check out Green Fig for a dinner for two or a large group gathering to enjoy this rooftop!
