Next time you’re in the Big Apple, dine in the sky at one of the best restaurants in NYC.
NYC is famed for its skyline, but it’s not only offices up there in the clouds. Something on this shortlist of the best restaurants in NYC with a view is bound to tickle your fancy.
Riverpark
If seasonal farm ingredients and romantic views are your cup of tea, you must visit Riverpark. Perched in Manhattan’s Kip’s Bay neighbourhood, the restaurant prides itself on fresh produce and an ever-changing menu.
The prices are high and the portions are smaller than some expect, but the views from the terrace during summer months are spectacular. Don’t miss out on this farm-food gem.
Mr Purple
With downtown NYC as a backdrop, Mr Purple is a must if you’re searching for food and a view. Soak up the city atmosphere from above, whilst reclining on a lounger by the pool or perching on a high top communal table.
With a chilled and quirky atmosphere, why not visit Mr Purple for brunch before embarking on some hard-core shopping?
Alma
Built from the ground up by the four owners, Alma has become a landmark of the NYC dining scene. With exceptional views of Manhattan and top-rated Mexican food, there’s not much more a punter could wish for.
Alma is affordable and unassuming, and the staff are delightful. You must visit to sample their guac and enjoy looking out over the colourful cargo-loaders scattered below.
Kimoto Rooftop
Kimoto is the most chic of the best restaurants in NYC with a view. The minimalist décor perfectly complements the backdrop of the city’s urban infrastructure.
Be prepared to be immersed in Asian culture, where the food, design, craft beers and cocktails all have an Eastern twist.
The Top of the Standard
Of the best restaurants in NYC with a view, this is the place to visit at sunset. While grazing on caviar or perhaps foie gras, you’ll be treated to dramatic city views as the sun goes down.
As if the sunset views aren’t good enough, live jazz plays into the evening. With a dress code specifying ‘fitted clothing’, expect to be surrounded by particularly fancy punters.
