Social Drink & Food

On our lists of the best rooftop bars and cocktail bars in New York.

Rainbow-colored circle chairs, dragon trees and a yarn installation by Brooklyn artist London Kaye fill this 7,000-square-foot rooftop terrace atop the Yotel Hotel. Seasonal cocktails rotate through combinations like a rosewater martini, a watermelon pisco sour and a chai-spiced old fashioned, paired with Mediterranean street food such as charred eggplant flatbread and Moroccan-spiced nuts. An espresso martini and a mushroom pasta are regulars on the menu too. It stays open into the evening most nights, later on weekends, with the Hell's Kitchen skyline as the view.
