The sort of setting you can’t get enough of (even if you are a jaded local). Located atop the Met, this rooftop bar sits right above Central Park’s tree canopy, allowing for splendid views of the park and the city skyline all around. Sunset is when you’ll find fools in love…then again, it could all be those martinis.

Access is via the elevator in the European sculpture and decorative arts galleries.
