"There are a lot of tall buildings in Midtown, so it makes sense that there are also plenty of rooftop bars. But if you want one where cocktails won’t cost $20 and you won’t hear anyone shouting “shots,” head over to the rooftop of the Refinery Hotel, which feels kind of like a big indoor beer garden that happens to be several stories above street level. There are plenty of tables, and you can make a reservation if you want to be sure you get seats." - Bryan Kim
