Bars and Terraces with a View in New York

Few can argue that the city ofNew Yorkis one of the most spectacular on the planet. Not only can we visit its incredible streets while looking up and feeling small compared to its magnificent skyscrapers, but one can also visit the many museums, monuments and landmarks. In addition, we can also enjoy fabulous food, which goes far beyond simply fast food, because if we enter an authenticNew Yorkgrill, you’ll get meat that is among the best in the world.

 

Speaking of skyscrapers, one of the advantages of having so many is that they offer an unparalleled view of the city and of theHudson River. On some of these terraces, one can enjoy the view while sipping a drink or eating a snack. Here we present five of the best sidewalk cafes in the city which offer absolutely breathtaking views:
