230 Fifth

Check the weather before you go. I didn't, and the wind was brutal up there, which kinda ruined my photos.

My advice is to take your time exploring the rooftop. It's spacious, so find a nice spot to chill and enjoy the skyline.

Make sure to arrive around sunset, like 7 PM, to catch both daytime and nighttime city views. It’s a beautiful transition!

I recommend checking if they have any special events or happy hours before your visit. You could snag a good deal on drinks!
Palace

My advice is to arrive around 10 PM if you want to catch the best drag shows. The vibe gets way better as the night goes on and you'll get a great seat if you're early!

I suggest checking out the happy hour from 6 to 9 PM; it really helps to save some cash on drinks! The cocktails are delish and super worth it.

I recommend asking the bartenders for their specials. I found out about this fab drink that wasn't on the menu, and it turned into my new fave!

You might want to dress up a bit. I wore something chill but felt a bit underdressed once I got there. So, maybe add a stylish touch to your outfit.
Brass Rail Sports Bar

My advice is to try the wings and their house sauces. While the bar food is solid, those wings were a total highlight for me!
Mama Shelter's Rooftop

I recommend arriving early to snag a good spot. It gets super crowded, especially on weekends, and you don’t want to miss out on the prime viewing area.

I think it's a great idea to share plates if you get food. The portions are pretty generous, so you can try a couple of dishes without breaking the bank!

My advice is to check their drink specials online before you go. They have some creative cocktails that are surprisingly affordable during happy hour.

I suggest visiting around sunset. The view is absolutely breathtaking and you’ll get that perfect golden hour lighting for photos!
Drink

I think it's worth trying their small plates! They pair perfectly with the drinks and it's a great way to enhance your experience without spending too much.

I recommend asking the bartenders for their recommendations—they love sharing their passion for drinks and you might discover something unique you wouldn't have picked otherwise!

My advice is to arrive a little before 6 PM if you can. The crowds start to build up after that, and you'll want to snag a good seat to really soak in the atmosphere.
Ormsby's

Check out their happy hour specials. I saved a good amount on drinks from 4 to 7 PM. Definitely worth it if you're planning to hang out for a while!

I recommend going on a weeknight if you can; it's way less crowded and you can snag a pool table easily. I went on a Saturday, and it was packed.

Don't hesitate to ask the bartenders for recommendations. I tried a drink I wouldn't have normally picked, and it ended up being my favorite!
Bar 54

Plan for the weather! If it's chilly, bring a light jacket because it gets windy up there and you don't want to miss the view.

I suggest checking the happy hour specials when you arrive. I saved a few bucks on drinks this way and they were delish!
Duffy’s Love Shack

Check out the drink specials on their menu before ordering – some of them are a steal! I found a tasty cocktail for half the usual price during my visit.

My advice is to grab a seat outside if the weather's nice. The vibe is much better, plus you can enjoy the fresh air while you chill with your friends.
Miller's Ale House - Paramus

I wasn't a fan of the long wait for our food, so if you're hungry, try to go for a weekday lunch when it's quieter. Way quicker service then!

If you're planning to visit on a weekend, I suggest arriving before 6 PM. The place gets super packed, and we had to wait for over 30 minutes otherwise
NE Moose Bar & Grill

I recommend checking if they have any live music before your visit. I went on a night with a band and it really made the experience more fun.

I suggest trying their happy hour deals, which are from 4-6 PM. I saved a bunch on drinks and snacks. Don't miss their wings; they're legit.

If you're a fan of craft beer, talk to the bartenders about their local options. I found a couple of brews that aren’t on the menu yet, which was super cool!

my advice is to check out their dart boards. i didn't realize they run leagues! great vibe, just make sure to grab a spot early during busy times.
