The Sentry
This members-only pool club atop the American Copper Buildings is your answer to just about any kind of summer hang. Complete with a rooftop lounge, flavorful food and drink program from Hole in the Wall, and, of course, a luxe pool overlooking the East River, the space has already hosted some of the city's most well-heeled VIPs. Besides being a go-to for sipping and sunbathing, The Sentry also offers morning yoga classes, pool meditations and guided astronomy sessions, standing out as a zen alternative to some of the city's more rowdy pool options.
