"It makes sense that there are a ton of Times Square hotel restaurants and bars with beautiful vistas. The latest is the Knickerbocker Hotel’s rooftop lounge and sushi restaurant, heralded by notable chef Charlie Palmer. The first is St. Cloud Rooftop with cocktails and snacks, and its alfresco patio overlooking the tall Midtown buildings. Then there’s Akoya, its tucked-away restaurant centered on well-crafted temaki." - Nadia Chaudhury
