Make Believe

Places That Feel Like You’re Outside When You Really Don’t Want To Leave The A/C

"Between the broken AC in your office and the unventilated F train platform, you’ve reached your heat quota for the day. But, your friends want a rooftop and you don’t have the energy to fight them on it. Take everyone in your group to Make Believe on the LES, a rooftop bar with two distinct indoor and outdoor areas. Being inside won’t make you feel jealous of the party outside though, because there are big windows, and a disco ball hanging over a dance floor. On weekends, Make Believe tends to reach capacity, so we recommend making a reservation or getting here early the next time you want to drink a matcha or sake cocktail in a pink booth." - hannah albertine
