    Rooftopbar The DL is a wonderful destination at any time of the year: if the weather is not so good, there is a lounge with windows down to the floor, so you can enjoy the view of the Lower East Side skyline. It’s just the roof of the third floor, but it feels much higher.

    The Highlight Room is a glamorous rooftop bar on the 16th floor of the Moxy Hotel on the Lower East Side. Both the outdoor terrace and the interior, surrounded on all sides by windows, are adorned by the branches of a majestic tree. The ambiance of this bar is reminiscent of a 19th century pleasure garden.
