NYC Rooftop Bars: Our 2013 End Of Summer Drinking Guide

Jimmy at the James Hotel

Above the hustle and bustle of SoHo streets the James Hotel offers visitors a chance to unwind with a drink while taking in 360 degree views of lower Manhattan. In addition to a wading pool and cotton chaise lounges, the rooftop features indoor bar seating. Wherever you choose to sit, be sure to check out the expertly done cocktails including the Mexican Honey Bee, a combination of reposado tequila, orange flower, honey, mezcal, lemon and lavender bitters.
