Arbor Eighteen's common roof deck has grills and dining area

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.
