Darling

New York City's Best Rooftop Restaurants and Bars

"Perched 47 floors above Central Park with a rare south-end park view, this penthouse rooftop mixes playful cocktails with refined small plates. The drink program features edible jelly cocktails in flavors like Mezcal Negroni and Strawberry Daiquiri, a sophisticated Dirty Shirley incorporating Veuve Clicquot and orange blossom water, and an inventive martini menu (including an escargot-topped Grey Goose and an olive-oil-washed gin). Shareable cocktails for the table set a festive tone, while snacks such as wagyu skewers, gougères with ham, and a cheese plate round out the menu." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
