Sophisticated SixtyFive sits on level 65 of the central building of Rockefeller Center, making it the highest vantage point in Midtown that doesn't require a ticket. Views are undeniably breathtaking, but at peak times it can feel like a cattle market: walk-ins are herded into a central standing area. If you want to sit down by a window, you'll need to reserve a table.
There's also balcony seating (weather permitting), which can be reserved with an $85 minimum spend. Dress well (no sportswear or guests under 21) and if you arrive without a reservation, aim for 5pm so you don't have to queue.
At the other end of the corridor is the revamped Rainbow Room, a legendary, elite nightclub turned swanky nosh spot serving Sunday brunch as well as dinner on select evenings (see the website).
