Manhattan sometimes feels like a movie set. It is possible to imagine yourself in the center of its
glamour. It's even easier to become part of it for the price of a drink.
This spring sophisticated rooftop bars have debuted at the top of many Manhattan towers.
They are surrounded by the glitter of the big city's bright light and open to the sky. Most are in
midtown. There isn't a bad choice among them.

THE TOP OF THE STRAND is on
the 21st floor of the new Strand
Hotel on W. 37th Street just off
Fifth Avenue. It really could be a
movie set because it was
designed by Lydia Marks who did
the sets for "Sex and the City." It
is a cool Carrie Bradshaw sort of
place with a fairly sedate crowd
in their 20s, 30s, and 40's. There
are also Europeans who are
guests at the hotel.

The wood planters are full of greenery, which is fitting in a hotel that is
environmentally sensitive. There is a retractable roof that can be closed in
rainy or chilly weather. The view of the Empire State Building makes it
seem so close it is almost touchable.
The only downside at the Top of The Strand is that it will not start serving
food until the end of May when the first floor restaurant opens.
Meanwhile, there are nibbling nuts. A suggested drink is the mojito ($14),
a mix of Barbancourt Silver rum, fresh lime juice, mint, sugar and soda.

HUDSON TERRACE is all the
way west on 46th street and is
a roof of a different character. It
is an alternative for those
seeking a high energy party
scene. It has dancing under the
stars. It has been proven so
popular that the outdoor space
was revamped with a
retractable roof and
temperature-regulated
mahogany flooring for cooler
weather.

Its attraction as an entertainment center compensates for the fact
Hudson Terrace is only on the third floor. It can not really compete for
views with its other rooftop bars. However, there are pleasant glimpses
of the Hudson River when looking South. There is also an attractive
Japanese modern decor with red lacquer tables, heirloom woods,
handcrafted tiles, and willow trees to nurture its customer's aesthetic

UPSTAIRS is on E.50th Street 30
floors up on top of the Kimberly
Hotel. It also has a movie set
feel. It puts a fresh spin on old
glitz by incorporating vintage
theatrical lights and strings of
incandescent bulbs that float
overhead. It is toned down a bit
by black leather wing chairs and
Victorian side chairs that makes it
feel more library than libertyville.
It deliberately avoids the lounge
style furnishings typical of other
rooftop bars.
