New York Habitat

One of the best under-the-radar rooftop bars in the city . If you're coming for food, get the M&M burger and the french fry tasting basket, otherwise head up to the roof to take in the great view .

Johnny Stobart

Fabulous New York Strip steak 18oz of beautifully cooked meat - just what I was looking for. The staff great and very friendly and we met new friends we then went on to The Flat Iron Rooms with!!

Rare is a solid burger spot. I've had the M&M burger , which is amazing! It's the Rare classic flambeed in whiskey topped with cheddar cheese and caramelized onions . Oh man, I think about it often

ℳ𝒶𝓎♍

Oh my word! The view from the rooftop is absolutely amazing! Front row seats to seeing the Empire State Building . It's so close that maybe you won't even notice it because it's literally in your face!

Affinia Hotel Collection

How does the best burger in town with truffle fries sound? You’ll find it here, adjacent to the lobby of Affinia Shelburne. In summer, head up to Rare View for cocktails and incredible sunset vistas.

Adam Averay

Score the corner table for a view of the Chrysler Building , Empire State Building and World Trade Center all at once!

Sophie Parks

The view is spectacular. It didn't take long to get in and there was plenty of seating for my large group. Perfect place for a large gathering!

Kornelija Maceviciute

Amazing view ! Great place to spend a mn evening in New York sipping drinks with a good company or even alone enjoying the surrounsings.

Affinia Hotel Collection

How does the best burger in town with truffle fries sound? You’ll find it at Rare Bar and Grill just a few blocks away from Affinia Dumont. Head upstairs to Rare View for incredible sunset vistas.

Jeremy

Beautiful views of the city , a great staff & tons of rooftop seating! Good place to go after work or for a weekend splurge. The drinks are tasty but expensive .

Liza

Great juicy burgers - can't go wrong with nearly any of them. Haberño margarita is great if you like a little kick. Frickle was overrated

Asli S

Drinks were pricy but good. Colorful decor and nice view . Entrance for non guests of the hotel is around the corner on 37th, go up the long ramp.

Gajtana Simonovska

Big rooftop with reasonable drink prices. $10 red wine and views of the Empire State and Chrysler building as well as the East River .

Sara 🌈⚔🍾

Amazing views and decent food. Good cocktails - I especially liked the cool as a cucumber .

Amanda S

Mango margarita is spectacular and HUGE! One of the best drinks /value for a cocktail In manhattan that I've ever had!

Alma A.

You can never go wrong with the classic M&M burger with Parmesan Truffle fries . Or if you want MELT IN YOUR MOUTH, try my favorite Filet Mignon burger !

Heather Schoenemann-Flashner

Even if you don't feel like having one of their massive burgers , their Cobb salad , brisket quesadilla , and truffle fries are delicious!

Rochelle Ash

Cute , awesome cocktails (they serve my favorite rum !) chill spot to grab drinks with coworkers or friends.

Jason

Only rooftop I know where you can see the empire state building , wtc, and Chrysler building all

Frank Rimalovski

Great burgers , sandwiches , drinks & service and the price to match. Definitely not Five Guys, but a great place to go with a group. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Valentin Guerin

Nice view , a lot of space, and not too crowded !

David Molina

The lamb burger and mediterranean salad is the best. Delicious balance w/ their special sauce . Two pickles to top it off.

Elizabeth Ollis

Gorgeous view . Drink prices are what you'd expect from a place like this but don't waste your money on the sangria...more like fruit juice with no booze. Other drinks we tried were great.

Jeff S

Really nice view . Drinks are $15. Make sure to enter down 37th street rather than going through the hotel .

Simon Lafont

Nice view , large rooftop , wine and sangria are not good ($10). Better try a mojito ($15).

Dave Reed

The Jameson Burger is awesome, and the shot that comes with it for an extra $5 is a no brainer.

Nicolette Romero

The rooftop be is a must! I recommend trying the 21st amendment beer ! 🍺

Steven Noriega

The steaks her are delicious ...maybe the other people got their steaks well done and couldn't enjoy the juiciness of the steaks . I would def come here again

Tash Concepcion

This burger is quite large and meaty so not a good option if you like smaller burgers . Try the sliders instead. The French Fry Tasting basket is worth a try.

Olga Tyan

Burgers are delish!!!! Parmesan truffle fries .... Nom nom nom!!! Can't go wrong with any burger !!!

Dr. Katy Nelson

Great views , good drinks, but no food. The grill downstairs is awesome, though. Try the "Sexy Sexy" drink, it's yummy yummy.

Ben Hanten

There are power outlets on the perimeter. Great place to recharge - both your phone and yourself.

Nirali Patel

Gorgeous view of the Empire State Building . Chill vibe

Tom Joseph

Decent outdoor rooftop bar with a low key atmosphere. $8 beers and $15 cocktails

Nabil Bazzari

Have not been. Aboud N recommends for excellent burger

Eric Simpson

Got here around 12:15 with 45 minutes til close on a Saturday. Was almost empty which was nice. Got a Sam Summer for $9...but I guess you're paying for the spectacular views of the Chrysler and empire

Kate Goldsmith

They have the best waffle "cottage" fries , and burgers . If it's nice out go up on the roof for a drink afterward and enjoy a nice view of the Chrysler building and Empire State building .

Robert Redick

Beer is expensive but great view of the city

Michael Romo

Great views of the Empire State , Chysler and Bank of America Buildings. Bring a camera and enjoy!

Jason Brew

Great rooftop spot with a good selection of cocktails

Felix Grushevsky

Delicious and well thought burgers for every taste

Umair Zia

Oh man not my crowd at all. Business attire. Drinks are crazy over priced ($9 for Bud Light , $16 for small cocktails , etc). BUT a great view of the city from this rooftop = post-date drinks.

Nicole Savva

Fresh and delicious! Lollipops , Greek salad , and turkey burger recommended !

Ashley Rose

way less crowded than pod39. Stick with the beers if you can, skip the rosé

Michael Romo

If you are a hotel guest just take the regular hotel elevator up to the 16th floor and be ready to show your room key to security.

David Trudo

Everything's good here. Especially the Jameson Black burger .

Andrew Gatto

Good date spot . Great views of the Empire State Building .

Fernando de Benavides

Fox Fox
