Best bar with the best view?

Question

from a high floor

Answer 1

The Stone Rose or the Lounge at the Mandarin Oriental - both are in the Time Warner Center and have really great views.

And The View at the Marriott Marquis is a great view because as it rotates you can see different parts of the city.

Rise at the Ritz Carlton in Battery Park has great views, especially of the Statue of Liberty.

Answer 2

230 Fifth is by far the hottest rooftop bar in NYC right now.

it has full unobstructed views of the midtown skyline, and is much less touristy than the one in times square.

The rooftop bar at the gansevoort hotel is also very good, but very euro-trendy and expensive.

Answer 3

The View Lounge

Answer 4

The Rainbow Room, high atop the NBC building, is always nice for drinks.

Answer 5

The View Lounge at the top of the Times Square Marriott Hotel.  The lounge itself actually revolves giving guests a 360 degree view of the city.
