Trendy Rooftop Restaurants in New York City

Cherry blossoms and long sunny days with complimentary 60 degree days mean that it's time to be the trendy Instagram saying "outside." Shake off those cold-weather blues and pick your spring fling outfits that always guarantee you an appearance rating of nine or above. Especially since COVID-19 mandates are lifting around the city, scouting for datings sites is just as simple as in 2019 (well almost).

Seriously though - skip the arcades and stinky bars that smell like farts mixed with gym sweat. Why suffer through those musty environments when you can legally have the luxury to be outside and immerse yourself in the New York environment while playing "people watching" games with your date.

Of course, we want to set your up for success. Therefore we compiled a list of four rooftops in Manhattan and Brooklyn to get you ready for your next date.
