New York Rooftop Bars

on
November 18, 2022

I had many rooftop bars on my list in New York City. I made it to four of them. One of the four I wouldn’t even bother with. The other three are all worth visiting for various reasons depending on what you’re looking for.

Mr. Saturday Night

Tonight is Mr. Saturday Night starring Billy Crystal. I try to be back at the hotel two hours before a show. That gives me an hour to get ready, thirty minutes to get there, and thirty minutes to get inside, get my drink, and get to my seat. That…
