"If you want to spend your whole day outside, you could always head to the Frying Pan or grab a drink at Le Bain after you call it quits on the High Line. But if you go to one of those spots, an intern will probably spill a vodka soda on you. So try Gallow Green, the bar and restaurant on top of The McKittrick Hotel. It's one of the more civilized rooftops around, and you can easily make a reservation. Drink some frosé and eat a cheeseburger or some calamari on the big, leafy outdoor patio." - bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus
