Nestled amidst the iconic skyscrapers that define its skyline, New York City stands as the home of rooftop bars. Founded back in the 1800’s in Midtown, rooftop bars were created to elevate drinking and socialising to new heights to help cope with the summer heat! Now they are part of the culture of NYC and one of my personal favourite places to enjoy such a variety of rooftops.
