Located at 11 East 31st Street atop the Arlo Nomad hotel in Manhattan’s Midtown South, The Heights is another rooftop bar with great 360-degree views around Midtown South and beyond, including the iconic Empire State Building. It’s one of the few rooftop bars that we are aware of that is open for business on a weekday afternoon. The premium mixed drinks here are named after sections of the five boroughs that have “Heights” in its name (Morningside Heights, Jackson Heights, Dyker Heights, etc.) If we had one piece of feedback, it’s that the spot seemed rather understaffed during our visit. Hopefully, that gets rectified in the weeks ahead. In all, The Heights is a great spot for any Summer NYC rooftop bar crawl.
