If there's one thing New Yorkers want with their cocktails (besides a bump of caviar), it's an Instagrammable backdrop. And there's no better place for that than a rooftop bar. Luckily, we don't have to wait until springtime to pair our sips with sweeping views of the iconic city skyline. From uptown to downtown (and everywhere in between), these swanky watering holes offer an elevated scene for every season and occasion. Cheers to feeling on top of the world - literally!
