Right off the Queensboro bridge, across from Manhattan, this luxe rooftop bar is a newcomer to the scene but definitely has the views to compete with the best of them.
Situated atop the Ravel Hotel, the Penthouse 808 (which debuted in May 2009) is no doubt the hotel’s centerpiece. It delivers up-close vistas of the bridge and Midtown high-rises, as well as a sweeping vista of the East River (two factory smoke stacks sit in the foreground but add depth to the otherwise picture-perfect view). If there’s a private party, the kitchen can’t handle outside orders; and the music is a tad too loud for sunset cocktails. Still, for those after killer city views, it’s a vantage point that can’t be beat.

The park is one of the biggest bar in NYC: a restaurant, a garden, a penthouse, 2 bars… with a total capacity over 1000 people. The rooftop is open during weekend, for private parties, and when it’s swarming downstairs. But even if it’s closed, this is still a good place to hang out
