In a city with some of the tallest buildings—and views—in the world, it’s no wonder that New Yorkers are so partial to their rooftop hangouts. Seasons changing is no cause for discouragement.Read on for how you too can enjoy New York rooftops all year long, with some tips from the St. Cloud Rooftop at the Knickerbocker. With its lush walls of greenery and epic views over Times Square, the rooftop offers festive atmosphere regardless of season.
DRESS ACCORDINGLY

ORDER HOT COCKTAILS
Frosé is a thing of the past. Warm your body and spirit with a hot toddy or similar boozy drink.

THROW ON A THROW
At The Knick, we’ve got Nordic-style blankets that keep visitors snug and cozy while they sit under the bright lights of Midtown.
