Vibe: High above the loads of tourists snapping pictures, Highbar is the place to give your birthday party fantastic views of New York City with a little taste of Miami. Hailed as the Times Square rooftop getaway for the suit and tie crowd, the views, the ambiance, and of course the alcohol are all certain to give you a birthday party to remember… or at least mostly remember.

Spot: Post-modern clean lines and tasteful monotones meet retro striping and checkering to create an intriguing effect...think Bungalow 8 meets 230 5th. This exclusive party spot sports some of the best rooftop seating with sprawling day beds and generously oversized couches, finished with a healthy dose of cushions and pillows (if Borat was at your birthday party, you could expect to hear “Very nice, sexy time!”)

Grub: Highbar keeps it simple with traditional grill food, including burgers and quesadillas. And because there is no reason your drinking habits need to interfere with your daily health, get your 3-4 servings of fruit with the watermelon filled with your choice of liquor.

The Deal: Highbar is an upscale cocktail bar (be sure to try the Wicket: Bombay Sapphire, fresh cucumber and lime, finished with tonic) with spectacular views and decadent seating (or laying) all wrapped in a tropical feel that will make your New York City birthday party feel like you brought the best parts of Miami to a roof in Times Square. All that’s missing are the bikinis, and we have faith you can make that happen one way or another.
