Located at 50 Bowery atop the 50 Bowery Hotel, The Crown is a new rooftop bar for Lower Manhattan with amazing views of Midtown, downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn.  We got the feeling that the door may be a little difficult late at night, so it’s probably better to visit here during happy hour (the bar opens for business daily at 5pm).  It’s a great spot. Though keep in mind, as with the case with numerous NYC rooftop hotel bars, since the drinks aren’t cheap, remember that you’re paying for the view as well.
