"If you haven’t already been to 230 Fifth Rooftop, you’ve probably seen photos of this place. It’s got one of the best views of the Empire State Building anywhere in the city, which means that tourists and native New Yorkers flock here all year-round. This huge outdoor spot in Midtown has a bunch of private igloos that you can book for up to 10 people, plus they welcome walk-ins on a first-come, first-served basis. Like every great rooftop, 230 Fifth also offers brunch service from 12-4pm on weekends. For more information on reservations and pricing, head to the restaurant’s website." - nikko duren
