Cliché or not, New York City’s skyline is something to behold. There are so many angles to observe it from, whether you’re flying into a local airport, driving across the Throgs Neck Bridge or standing atop the Empire State Building.
But some of the best viewpoints are from the city’s restaurants, which afford you time to take it all in. Book a table at these top spots to linger over a martini and a plate of oysters as the sun sets, watching the scene shift with the light.
These five MICHELIN Guide dining rooms offer a seat to the show — no reservation at an observation deck required.
