Magic Hour Rooftop Bar and Lounge

New York City’s largest indoor/outdoor hotel rooftop bar and lounge features an “urban amusement park” with adult sensibilities, epic Empire State Building views, a rotating carousel, an oversized topiary garden, and Foreplay—a putt-putt golf course populated by flirty animal sculptures.

Enter this rooftop bar and lounge, which opens Oct. 4 in the Moxy Times Square hotel, through a darkly lit lobby with a giant funhouse mirror. The real highlights here are the outdoor areas, one on the east side, overlooking the Empire State Building, and one on the west, with a carnival-like vibe and seating on an antique carousel. In one corner, you'll find a miniature putt-putt course with enormous animals in naughty poses. If hunger strikes you here, order entrées or dessert off a menu featuring such State Fair bites as lobster rolls and ice cream sandwiches.
