New York rooftop bar recommendation: Panorama Room

The Panorama Room on Roosevelt Island is the island’s only rooftop bar, offering unique views of Manhattan and the Queensboro Bridge. Grab a cocktail or beer and head to the terrace. The bar feels like a lounge, with small plates that focus on seafood. You can use your MetroCard to take the Roosevelt Island Aerial Tramway to and from this rooftop bar, which will add more color to your visit. Remember to bring your ID and dress appropriately.
