Arbor Eighteen's common roof deck has grills and dining area Arbor Eighteen's common roof deck has grills and dining area
Between New York’s ongoing reopening and highly encouraging vaccination numbers, this Labor Day could scarcely feel more different than last year. One thing that has not changed, though, is that the typical New York City apartment is less than ideal for hosting a barbecue. Luckily, there is no need to decamp to the suburbs - a number of New York City buildings' roof decks and terraces offer grills, outdoor kitchens, dining and lounging areas, and jaw-dropping views as backdrops for celebrating the unofficial end of summer. Below, see a selection of buildings with the most enviable roof decks.
