You really should wander up to Miru, the dreamy rooftop sushi place right above City Winery in Chelsea Piers. Here’s the review in Time Out, and we can confirm that it is perhaps the most spacious, airy inside rooftop in the city. As a major bonus, it is surrounded by Pier 57 rooftop park, which offers a bird’s eye view of Little Island and panoramic views of the west side.

Do not be discouraged by the name if you don’t have yacht or yacht club money (yet); The Yacht Club on 12th Avenue and 27th Street is for the people. Boat-themed (as you would expect) and with a massive and beautiful outdoor space—replete with cabanas, a bar, and incredible views of the Hudson—this place has the vacation energy‍ just a few steps away from your apartment that you’re looking for.

New York feels “back” this summer in a way I can’t really describe and in a way that doesn’t make sense given that it never really left (Knicks? World Cup? Global warming?). In honor of that feeling divorced from any facts, we’re introducing a new series called “Summer rooftop series,” and the first submission is the Electric Lemon rooftop terrace (i.e., the Equinox Hotel bar terrace which you don’t need to be any sort of member to go to). Instagram link as well.
