You can't deny that this is a bit of a touristy spot, but when you get up there and the see the views of the city you understand exactly why everyone flocks there. I'd also say that it's a big enough space that it never feels too hectic and often all the people actually make for a great atmosphere. A decent cocktail menu of all the classics and an easy bar menu of light snacks means you can stay for a quick drink and take in the view, or settle in for the evening. Make sure you head round to the far left hand side up on the decking as you can also see the One World Trade tower and take in the sunset from there too, which sets over the Hudson River. A great spot to take friends, dates and parents! That view never gets old.
This place is pretty cool, mostly because the rooftop is so large and doesn't feel like an exclusive club that you need a gold ticket to get into to. I came here one day after work for a happy hour with some of co-workers, we got drinks, sliders, and fries which were all surprisingly good. There was no wait, besides the long elevator ride to get to the top and the vibe was pretty chill. Besides the super expensive drinks and the super chippery waitresses (like she was at our table every 10 minutes asking if we needed more drinks) this place is a perfect rooftop spot.
It also makes for a great instagram.

Excellent way to go on a awesome night, even if you have to delay ten minutes in line. The opinions of the town are awesome, such as the view of the Business State building. There are equivalent parts of beautiful individuals vs individuals who look/dress culturally uncomfortable and out of position. There are a lot of locations to sit, take a position or flow and 3 associated with sparkling wine cost $50....guess they might be making up for no cover charge. All in all an excellent way to individuals watch, consume and b. s. with guests.
