Empire Hotel Rooftop Bar & Lounge

The recently revamped Empire Hotel has applied its newfound ritz to their vast 12th floor rooftop bar, which debuted in June 2008. Dress to the nines and brave the lines at the door for access to this 8,000-square-foot platform for stargazing, of both the stellar and celebrity variety. Kim Cattrall, Jimmy Fallon, and A-Rod have all made recent appearances here, while the lounge also provides a perfect perch for views over Lincoln Center, Central Park, and Midtown and Upper West Side skyscrapers. Bask in the sultry red-lit glow of the hotel’s iconic Hotel Empire sign while sipping specialty cocktails like the Strawberry Fields (Grey Goose Citron, strawberries, lemon juice, and simple syrup, topped with Prosecco). If you’re feeling extra-snazzy, book a private cabana and dine on fancy treats like the Millionaire’s Devilled Eggs – it's truffle- and caviar-filled, and garnished in a gold leaf. Visit Tuesday nights for live jazz, around 5pm on weekdays for happy hour deals on their otherwise pricey drinks, or on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday nights to experience the rooftop at its most bustling. www.empirehotelnyc.com
