This chic boutique rooftop bar offers breathtaking city views, delightful cocktails, and a cozy indoor lounge, perfect for a memorable night out.
"The Crown is the type of place where you might see someone walk in dressed in a full puffy NASA spacesuit (something we've actually witnessed). Pretty much anything goes at this rooftop bar on the 21st floor of the Hotel 50 Bowery in Chinatown. This spot has two outdoor areas with a huge indoor space in between where you and a few friends can dance while a DJ spins some Southern hip hop. Despite all the room, it can still get packed. Cocktails are $20, or you can get bottle service starting at $550 if your pseudo celebrity friend is paying." - bryan kim, neha talreja, kenny yang, molly fitzpatrick

"Turns out you don’t have to be in Brooklyn to get jaw-dropping views of Manhattan. Instead, consider the 21st floor of Chinatown’s Hotel 50 Bowery, where you'll find this intimate lounge with two rooftop patios and unobstructed views of the Brooklyn Bridge , Empire State Building, and One World Trade Center. The drinks are great, too, and this year’s menu sings songs of summer with drinks like vodka-spiked cucumber lemonade, and the Chinatown Spritz, featuring Grey Goose vodka, St. Germain, lime juice, and Prosecco." - Abbe Baker, Carey Jones

But, despite all the room, it can still get packed here. Cocktails are $18, and if you bring your pseudo-celebrity friend who constantly wants to seem important, you might be able to convince them to order bottle service, which starts at $500.
