New York is a city full of skyscrapers. That’s why seeing the city from above becomes something so special. There are several ways you can enjoy the views of the city. One is through observatories. The city has three (Empire State, Top of the Rock and One World Observatory). Another tip is to check out one of the several rooftop bars in the city. Lastly, another idea is having lunch or dinner in a restaurant with a view. And today I’m going to list for you four restaurants with incredible views that are worth!
Asiate – it is located on the 35th floor of the Mandarin Oriental, a hotel located in Columbus Circle, a super charming area of the city, in an outstanding location, close to Central Park. You can imagine why this restaurant is so special, right? The view of the park, of course! The decor is beautiful and spotless. The restaurant has huge glass windows that, of course, reveal all the beauty of the southern part of Central Park, beyond the Columbus Circle area and 59th Street.

The View – This is a restaurant that sits on the 47th floor of the New York Marriott Marquis, in the heart of Times Square. For the location, on top of a building, you can imagine that one of the highlights of the place is due to the view, right? In addition, it has a very special detail: no matter the location of your table, you will see the whole view, since it is a revolving restaurant.

- On Sundays only, The View offers brunch from 10 am to 1.30 pm. The buffet features three stations.

Manhatta – this restaurant, which belongs to the Union Square Hospitality Group, combines sensational views with a menu from chef Jason Pfeifer, offering seasonal options inspired by French flavors. Manhatta is located on the 60th floor of a building located in Downtown, on Liberty Street. Its prime location on a high floor and its expansive windows provide a breathtaking view of the city, overlooking the east, west and midtown – for you to have an idea, you can spot the Empire State, Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge. The view is very similar to that from the One World Observatory – the only difference is that Manhatta does not have a southern view.
