The 19 Best Rooftop Bars In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Neon lights, custom gnome sculptures, and a state-of-the-art sound system all contribute to the EDM-festival feel at Somewhere Nowhere, a two-story indoor lounge and open-air rooftop on the 38th and 39th floor of the Renaissance New York Chelsea Hotel. Bottle service and very loud DJ sets start at 10pm—but if you make a reservation before their late-night service starts, it feels a little more wholesome. Stop by on the earlier side, and you might be able to catch a live jazz band, some aerial performances, or burlesque for no extra cover charge. The actual rooftop is a bit more sleek than the indoor space (less neon, more neutrals), and it has a pool for you to enjoy cocktails around. " - Bryan Kim, Neha Talreja, Kenny Yang, Nikko Duren
