For the (extra) late risers who probably spent too much of the previous night partying away at any of these top Manhattan rooftop bars to wake up in time for brunch, don't fret. Bar 54's rooftop lounge has you covered. Although the lounge technically opens at 4 PM (which is a totally reasonable hour to be caught brunching, in our opinion), it's also the highest rooftop lounge in all of Manhattan, which makes for altogether unsurpassable views of the city - and simply couldn't be left off of our list. So grab a specialty cocktail and bite from their shared plates while simultaneously soaking up one of the most breathtaking views of all of Manhattan.
