It is a term still little known in France but which has been all the rage in New York for a few years: the expression “rooftop bar” designates bars on the terraces of buildings, offering a necessarily breathtaking view of the city! People come there for a drink, brunch on weekends and dance until the end of the night! Here are the 6 best addresses of the moment.
1/ 230 Fifth
By far the most famous and spectacular rooftop bar in New York! The terrace of this bar perched on the 20th floor offers you a breathtaking view of the Empire State building, almost at your fingertips. A must-do photo! As its name suggests, the entrance is at 230 5th Avenue, a stone’s throw from the Flatiron building. Do not hesitate to come for brunch on weekends: the bar opens at 10 am on Saturday and Sunday and offers a menu highlighting the great classics of American cuisine.

2 / The Bath
Spanning the High Line, the Standard Hotel and one of New York’s hippest hotels. The hotel has also served as the setting for several episodes of the television series Sex & The City. And if you can’t afford a room, treat yourself to a drink at its rooftop bar on the 18th floor. The Bain & Rooftop offers a beautiful view of the High Line, the Hudson River and the skyline of the Financial District. A little advice: even if you don’t have the urge, go take a look in the bathroom …
