230 Fifth
Filling up the penthouse and 22,000-sq-ft roof of a former hotel, the 230 has a Studio 54–throwback lounge look inside – but who stays there? Outside, plants line the patio’s sprawl that looks north towards the Empire State Building. As a club it’s a bit off – drinks come in plastic cups – but views are superb and they hand out robes if it’s chilly outside.

Top of the Tower
Hosting anniversary dates for half a century (and plenty of old-timers are still coming), the classy Beekman Tower’s rooftop bar and restaurant puts its tables by the big windows that look over Queens’ retro Pepsi-Cola sign and Midtown’s twinkling soul. There are outdoor seats, too, you smoking heathen.

Plunge
Located in the 15th-floor penthouse of the hopelessly trendy Hotel Gansevoort, this Meatpacking District star affords great views of the Hudson River in a Miami Beach–type club with long lines. Try to get here early, and on a weeknight if possible, or else risk being packed like a well-dressed sardine with hordes of scenester-searching wannabes.

Metropolitan Museum of Art Roof Garden Cafe
It’s nothing fancy, just a self-service area with sandwiches and drinks, but we can’t get enough of this setting, with the roof view jutting just above Central Park’s tree canopy – and the presence of Coors Light. (On the Upper East Side? Sacre bleu!)
