"Your boss needs a place with a view, but you’ve tried and failed to book a table at Manhatta. Try Celestine instead. It isn’t on a rooftop - but it’s at the edge of the Dumbo waterfront, and it has a great view of the East River and Manhattan. The food is Mediterranean, and while it isn’t perfect, it’s pretty solid overall (we particularly like the Turkish dumplings). It’s also a nice minimalist space with high ceilings and big windows - and despite the fact that the view is probably worth several million dollars, reservations aren’t too tough." - bryan kim, chris stang
