The Best Hotel Bars in NYC, From Classic Martini Haunts to Rooftops With Central Park Views | Condé Nast Traveler

"Whatever your reason is for having made your way to Roosevelt Island, be sure to swing by the Panorama Room. The bar's selling point is in its name—panoramic views of Manhattan, the East River, and Queens from this unusual vantage point are well worth the visit. And the bar itself, located on the 18th floor of Graduate Roosevelt Island, is incredibly sexy in its own right; evocative of the old-school jazz clubs that used to pepper the city but now are so hard to come by, the Panorama Room is as smooth as the cocktails it slings. To boot, getting here affords the scenic tram ride over." - CNT Editors
