Dinner Before the Nightcap
Vintage Green Rooftop sits atop The Shelburne Sonesta Hotel. A retractable glass atrium frames views of the Empire State Building. Craft cocktails accompany sharing plates such as Moroccan spiced lamb pizza. Evening service is for guests aged 21 and over. A casual chic dress code applies. On Friday and Saturday, the kitchen closes at 11:00 PM. The bar stays open until 2:00 AM on those nights, leaving a later window for drinks.
High Vantage Above NoMad
ART NoMad sits on the thirty-first floor of Arlo NoMad. An elevator provides access to the rooftop. The open-air terrace looks toward the Empire State Building and the Flatiron District. Step onto the glass-floored Sky Walk for a different perspective. Walk-ins and hotel guests are welcome, with reservations recommended. Cocktails and shareable small plates are available. Closing time is midnight Thursday through Saturday and 11:00 PM on other nights.
Open Skies and Sheltered Lounges
Both destinations feature elevated viewpoints looking toward the Empire State Building, yet each provides a distinct setting. ART NoMad relies entirely on an open-air deck thirty-one floors high, complete with a glass-floored Sky Walk. Vintage Green Rooftop provides shelter through a retractable glass atrium on its sixteenth-floor terrace. Visitors planning late outings should note weekend schedules. ART NoMad closes at midnight on Saturday, whereas the bar counter at Vintage Green Rooftop remains open until 2:00 AM.
