The Rooftop at The Manner

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

This SoHo hotel's rooftop closes for winter and reopens each spring above unobstructed skyline views. At The Manner, black-and-white striped seating surrounds a marble-topped bar built around European aperitivo hours: jamon iberico, patatas bravas and empanadas next to a Rebujito or a Carajillo. Wine comes by the glass rather than the bottle, part of an unhurried pace instead of a race through a set menu.
