The DL

On our lists of the best rooftop bars and restaurants with a view in New York.

Three stories at the corner of Delancey and Ludlow make up The DL: a French-inspired bistro on the ground floor, a DJ lounge built for reggaeton and dancing on the second, and a rooftop with a retractable roof that keeps it open through the winter. The 7,500-square-foot roof runs top-tier sound and lighting for late nights, with the bar staying open daily until 4am. Resident and guest DJs play Fridays and Saturdays, and the space also handles private events and bottle service.
