Experience breathtaking Manhattan views from Overstory, one of New York City’s top rooftop spots.
Summer in NYC brings warm days and cool nights, making it the perfect time for rooftop adventures. The city’s skyline transforms into a series of oases at the top of its iconic buildings — if you know where to look.
We’ve curated a list of six stunning rooftop bars across NYC, each offering delicious drinks, spectacular views, and the relaxed vibe of summer.
Westlight at The William Vale
Believe it or not, the best Manhattan vistas often require a trip to Brooklyn. The Westlight rooftop, perched on the 22nd floor of the William Vale Hotel (a Forbes Travel Guide recommended property), offers panoramic views of the city skyline shimmering across the water.
This green rooftop oasis features seasonal shuffleboard and delicious bites curated by Chef Andrew Carmellini, known for Café Carmellini at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
Kick back with lamb carnitas tacos and a mezcal cocktail like Westlight’s signature Magic Hour — the perfect way to welcome the summer days.

Bar Tontine at The Wall Street Hotel
The roster of summer sips includes the Daikiwiri Spritz, made with rum and kiwi-coriander cordial, and a build-your-own margarita offering (try the cucumber-lime with a coconut sugar rim). Complement your island-inspired drinks with a scrumptious selection of snacks, like ceviche, caviar nachos and tuna truffle tostadas.
Enjoy stunning NYC skyline views at Nubeluz, located in the luxurious Ritz-Carlton NoMad.
This upscale restaurant combines modern elegance with 270-degree panoramic scenery. The interior features a chic teal and blush color scheme with plush sofas, creating a stylish art deco vibe.

This chic rooftop bar captures the Mediterranean spirit with a relaxed and breezy vibe. The Italian-inspired cocktails reflect the aperitivo culture, perfect for summer sipping. One highlight is the Leonessa Martini, which features citrus bitters that evoke the scenic Amalfi coastline.

Overlooking Central Park, Darling offers a glamorous and relaxing atmosphere. Once a private penthouse, it still retains a cozy residential charm. The Instagram-worthy cocktails come in pink, red, and orange, often topped with edible flowers. Enjoy delicious bites like lobster rolls and crudité platters.
The terrace, adorned with fairy lights, is perfect for watching sunset views. As twilight falls, the party continues with DJs and live music — a truly magical experience.
Overstory
Overstory, the sky-high cocktail bar above Saga fine dining, feels like a Gatsby-era speakeasy. Situated in the 70 Pine building in the Financial District, once the third-tallest skyscraper in the world, the elevator whisks you to the 64th floor.
Once inside, you’ll find breathtaking views and a wraparound terrace. The intimate setting, plush furnishings, and top-notch service make it a must-visit for a luxurious experience.
The creative cocktails include favorites like Pink Tuxedo (vodka, cherry blossom, vermouth, absinthe, and strawberry) and Fragolina (gin, strawberry, jasmine, vermouth, and Bitter Bianco).
