#Legal Highs – 30 Of The Best Rooftop Bars In The World
Table of Contents
3. The Skylark || New York, US
So achingly cool that it’s only open to the public on Monday to Friday (it’s reserved for private hire on weekends) you’ll need to get your Skylark fix on an after-work pitstop if you want to enjoy its sensational views, which sweep over Manhattan’s most iconic architecture, such as the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings. At 30 stories above Times Square South, the venue attracts a slick midtown crowd, so be dress code savvy.
4. L’Oiseau Blanc, Peninsula Paris || Paris, France
With its name meaning The White Bird, this restaurant and terrace atop The Peninsula Paris celebrates the vintage age of aviation and the French pilots Charles Nungesser and François Coli who, in 1927, attempted the first Paris to New York transatlantic flight on a plane of the same name. The interiors reflect the theme – yes, that is an actual plane – as does the drinks list, which features cocktails with names like Take Off. Leave your goggles and helmet at home, though – just soak up the views of this most romantic of cities.
