Rooftop Views
Find yourself on the Upper East Side with a few hours to kill? Make your way to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and head up to the rooftop garden. Admission is pay what you want - you can truly pay for a day pass with your coffee change, no judgement. The roof is open to visitors in the summer, weather permitting. It features stunning views of Central Park and much of Manhattan. Take in the contemporary installations which call the rooftop their home. Oh, and there's a rooftop bar.
