The sun is out! For New Yorkers, this means that rooftops are made for twinkling lights, fancy cocktails and the intermingling of the species. And there is no rooftop bar that New Yorkers prefer more than the Skylark. Thirty-stories high above the electricity of Times Square, the Skylark offers insane views of the entire city. But it doesn’t rest on its mile-high laurels. The Skylark’s thoughtfully created mixologist specialty cocktails and delicious bites make this a destination to be reckoned with. Try the Skylark, the namesake of the establishment for good reason. It combines beefeater gin, Tito’s vodka, dry vermouth, St. Germain liqueur, blue curacao and fresh lemon, finished with a brandied cherry. For a small bite, we recommend the tuna poke wonton tacos.
