"The city’s only rotating restaurant spins like a record on the top of the Marriott Marquis 47 stories above Times Square. From the team behind Union Square Cafe and Gramercy Tavern, The View does one full revolution per hour and offers 360-degree views, live piano covers, and a throwback American menu featuring shrimp cocktail and reasonably priced prime rib. It’s fun and nostalgic, and if you don’t want to commit to a full dinner, there’s an upstairs lounge where you can grab a drink." - neha talreja, bryan kim, carina finn koeppicus, hannah albertine
