ART NoMad (Arlo Roof Top)

"Thirty-one stories up in the air is the A.R.T.—aka, the Arlo Roof Top—at the boutique hotel's NoMad location, with views of the nearby Empire State Building, Midtown, and beyond. The ample modern loungers provide an approachable atmosphere, perfect for sipping on fun cocktails like the Electric Avenue (mezcal, sotol, choya, and yuzu) or the frozen beverage of the day. For the daring who want to take advantage of their elevation, A.R.T. NoMad also has a skywalk glass floor. The acrophobic may want to stay seated, though." - Abbe Baker, Carey Jones

"The rooftop bar at the Arlo Nomad Hotel is back open for the season with its usual views of the Empire State Building, cocktails, and mezze plates. For all the former Six Flag kids looking for a rush, they have a “sky walk” area where you can see 31 stories beneath you through a glass floor. This is an ideal meeting place for a few friends coming from all sorts of directions in and out of the city." - hannah albertine

"One of our favorite summer concert series Sofar Sounds is back with a series of intimate concerts are spread across the city–but you won’t know the artist until you get there, and they only reveal the location 38 hours in advance. After so many years of being plugged into the grid, your life is probably very customized and curated, so this is a great chance to be surprised by something new. Shows take place three times a week; tickets are $22. More info on Sofar Sounds here. " - neha talreja

"In addition to Lamalo, which translates to 'why not' in Hebrew, Peleg revamped the hotel’s additional food and beverage menus including the second floor Bedouin tent-themed lounge, Barlo, as well as the rooftop bar, A.R.T. Nomad. Both bars will feature their own unique cocktail menus." - Billy Lyons

"Lamalo team will also helm... a second-floor lounge called Barlo." - Carla Vianna
