Harriet's Rooftop

You're in NYC baby - so of course, you want to enjoy some amazing views of the city. Might I suggest a rooftop? Rooftop bars are probably the thing I get asked about the most when people ask me what they should do in NYC. So here's a map of my all-time favorite rooftop bars that are open year-round. Most of these rooftops are in Manhattan - Midtown to be exact, but there are a few outliers, including a couple in Brooklyn - where you can see views of Brooklyn AND Manhattan! Use the map function at the top right-hand corner of this guide to plan your trip & see which rooftops are closer to you. When you save this guide, all of the places will automatically appear on your main map as well. This map is living, meaning that when I come across new rooftops I like, I'll add them, and you'll automatically get an update if you've saved this guide!

[TEMPORARILY 20% OFF! NORMAL PRICE: $15] This guide centers on three of my favorite places in Brooklyn, two of which are parks. Each destination is less than a 15-minute walk from the other, so once you're in Brooklyn, you won't have to worry about any transportation. Enjoy each place for as long as you'd like, and then head to the next. This guide can be used for a day trip to Brooklyn, or use it as a guide to spending just a morning or an afternoon choosing what you'd like to see. You can also use it to spend multiple days in Brooklyn if you decide you want to spend longer at each place. It includes three main destinations to visit, all within walking distance to each other, things to do and see in each place, food & drink options, and more! This area of Brooklyn offers incredible views of urban Manhattan across the water, parks that feel like botanical gardens, historic places, great photo spots, and amazing food. As a local, it truly has my heart. When I feel down, I go to these places, and when I feel up, I still go. I love them, and I think they should be for everyone. They're in the heart of Brooklyn with views of Manhattan, without the stressful crowds. They're safe, and you can find public restrooms no matter where you are 😉

Nothing says Summer like these rooftops in NYC
