If there’s one thing New Yorkers want with their cocktails (besides a bump of caviar), it’s an Instagrammable backdrop. And there’s no better place for that than a rooftop bar. Luckily, we don’t have to wait until springtime to pair our sips with sweeping views of the iconic city skyline. From uptown to downtown (and everywhere in between), these swanky watering holes offer an elevated scene for every season and occasion. Cheers to feeling on top of the world – literally!

Starchild

Las Vegas glam has landed in NYC at Starchild, the recently opened rooftop lounge from Sin City’s acclaimed Carver Road Hospitality. Whether you’re looking for civilized cocktails (and caviar) or a jumpin’ late-night party scene, head to the 27th floor of the Civilian Hotel for sweeping views and strong sips inside a glass-enclosed terrace. Considering the fact that it’s already gotten a stamp of approval from Leonardo DiCaprio, you can be sure you’ll be in very stylish company.

Starchild, 305 W 48th St.
