Rooftop happy hours are one of the signature New York City experiences, and the deals make the views more accessible. Bars across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens offer discounted cocktails and wine high above the streets, with panoramas that range from the Empire State Building to the Brooklyn waterfront. Most rooftop specials run on weekdays during the late afternoon, so timing your visit right is key.
