Westlight

"This fancy rooftop bar on top of the even fancier William Vale hotel in Brooklyn feels like something you'd find in Manhattan. That said, Westlight has some of the best views in the city, and the food and drinks are actually pretty good. Large plates range from a smoked cheddar burger to miso salmon, and there are also some creative takes on familiar rooftop fare (hummus in flaky puffs, fried fish in buns instead of tacos, etc.). Celebrate a birthday here, or bring a tourist who just wants to stare at the Manhattan skyline. They’ll be impressed." - neha talreja, bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus, hannah albertine
