"San Francisco's burgeoning rooftop scene includes this one in SoMa, located on the 12th floor of the Hyatt Place, so expect city views. The scene is somewhat clubby and always packed—you’ll spot plenty of people on first dates and at least six articles of snakeskin-print clothing. Once you’re up high, sip on white miso-spiked cocktails while staring out at the skyline and taking advantage of the prime people-watching. If you get hungry, they also serve great Peruvian-Japanese dishes like empanadas, chicken karaage, and ceviche in a citrus-y leche de tigre that we drink up like soup." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
