| Its "too bad its only open a few months of the year", as this "must-see" seasonal rooftop above the Met offers "spectacular" views of Central Park and attracts a crowd of "fine young things"; sure, it "closes way too early", the "drinks are overpriced" and "seating options are sparse", but no one cares given the "New Yorkiness of it all." |

| "Smack dab in the middle of Central Park" overlooking a lake lies this "idyllic" indoor/outdoor "total getaway" where "you cant ask for a prettier view"; the restaurants open year-round, the outdoor bars only "when the weather is kind", but no matter what the season, its got extreme "pop-the-question" potential. |

| "Low-key" says it all about this East Side wine bar, a "secret escape" parked opposite its "more serious mother restaurant", Etats-Unis; even though its "too small for comfort" (26 seats) and no rezzies makes getting in "a gamble", its still "one of the hippest places" in the area. |
