This 39th story bar atop the Marriott Marquis artfully frames the city in its arched, floor-to-ceiling window. Though the décor is admittedly dated and the crowd can be touristy, even locals agree that this is one of the best barside views in the city. Seating is first come first served, so arrive early to stake out one of the coveted tables along the window. (Better yet if you arrive in time to catch the sunset.) The cocktails, served in low, round tumblers, are simple, strong and pricey. The namesake Marquis cocktail blends 209 gin, fresh citrus juice and Grand Marnier Cuvee du Centenaire (for a whopping $18), while the Golden Gate is a sugary mix of Jameson, St. Germaine, cranberry and ginger ale.
