A Pinterest board come to life (think buttery leather couches complete with accent cushions and overhanging palms), this is the place to order a round of frosé and lobster rolls and take in the undisrupted views of the Bowery area.

Ride the Public Hotel’s much-snapped, neon-tubed escalator up to
The Roof. It’s great for sunset drinks or an end of night tipple,
but nabbing a seat at one of the communal tables is no small
feat.

Located in the Beekman Tower, this rooftop speakeasy serves up some 20s vibes. Originally built as a residence for working women, the historical space gets a modern touch thanks to a punchy cocktail menu.

From this West Village rooftop bar, take in views of the Hudson
River with a side order of The Jane’s trademark deco surrounds.
Wash down light bites from the hotel’s restaurant, Old Rose, with a
Baby Jane cocktail of gin, Aperol and prosecco garnished with
charred orange.

The penthouse discothèque and rooftop bar on the top floor of The Standard, in the Meatpacking District, is a one-stop shop for a good time. During the summer, there’s even a plunge pool on the dance floor and a crêperie on the “grass”-covered rooftop.

Rise the ranks to join the city’s cool crowd on the effortlessly chic 15th floor of Hotel Indigo Lower East Side. Toast to the night ahead with the bar’s signature Mr Purple (a mix of Casamigos tequila, cranberry liqueur, allspice dram, apple and lemon).

Set atop the fictive hotel housing the immersive theatrical
performance Sleep No More, Gallow Green is unsurprisingly a little
surreal. Nab a table shrouded in lush, unkempt greenery at the
weekend to make the most of its buffet-style brunch with live
music.

The new kid on the block, Lemon’s is all about an elevated summer experience. In its Sicilian atmosphere, we’re opting for rounds of spritzers and basking in the summer heat (setting our phones to continuous shoot mode to capture sunset over the Manhattan skyline).

Slick and sophisticated, Westlight is as covetable for its menu
as it is for its views. Order a North Fork Royale (pisco, Aperol,
strawberry, lemon and sparkling rosé) at pop-up bar The Turf Club.
Follow with lawn games – cornhole anyone?

Channel your inner Brooklynite at DUMBO House, taking in views of Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge wrapped in your white- and grape-striped towel, with a glass of picante de la casa (a blend of Cazadores Reposado Tequila, lime, chilli, cilantro and agave) in hand.
