We all know you'll soon be in New York City for that internship or just to celebrate the beginning of the summer, but here's an exclusive list of rooftop hangout spots that are at your disposal. Some view the magnificent Hudson River, while others have you potentially snooping through a local New Yorker's office building - either way you're guaranteed a memorable time.
1. Tequila Park Taqueria
A very lively rooftop that is nestled in between the sides of two buildings. They're are known for serving small tapas that are paired nicely with seasonal mojitos and margaritas.
Location: 356 W 58th St.
2. Le Bain at the Standard Hotel
Associated with the notorious Standard Hotel, Le Bain rooftop is surely one of the best rooftops on Manhattan. First for it's exclusivity and delicious drinks, but more importantly for the breathtaking view that no other rooftop on Manhattan has.
Location: 848 Washington St.
3. The Loopy Doopy Rooftop Bar
Because of its location down in Battery Park, this rooftop needs to keep up with the status quo and what everybody wants in their cocktails. Champagne cocktails are the old, but champagne cocktails with a sorbet ice pop are the new.
Location: 102 North End Ave
4. Hotel Chantelle
Hotel Chantelle is known for having an incredible indoor atmosphere, but what many people aren't aware of is the rooftop, which is an overlooked highlight at this locale. Hotel Chantelle hasn't entirely morphed into a full-out club, but this is definitely a spot that teeters between bar and club.
Location: 92 Ludlow St.
5. Monarch Rooftop
The beauty of Monarch Rooftop is that you don't have to venture to the trendy depths of Manhattan to get here, since it's located in the middle of Manhattan. It's a fun, easy, and an accessible place that you will love.
Location: 71 W 35th St.
6. Salvation Taco
Personally, I saved the best for last, because this is by far one of the coolest rooftops in NYC. Although it doesn't have the club like atmosphere, the decor makes you feel like you're in a Mexican ruin while enjoying some of the tastiest drinks around.
Location: 145 E 39th St.
