230 Fifth

Empire State Views From a Secret Rooftop

Stumbled onto this rooftop gem just down from the Flatiron and holy wow – the Empire State Building practically fills your entire view! 230 Fifth is that rare Manhattan find where you can actually afford drinks AND get Instagram-worthy shots of the city's most iconic skyscraper. The evening crowd here knows what's up – this is prime Empire State viewing territory without the tourist trap prices.

Tip

Hit the rooftop right at sunset for the best Empire State Building photos – the lighting is pure magic and you'll beat the late-night crowds.
