The rooftop bar on top of the hotel Freehand New York, Broken Shaker deserves a bit of a spotlight. This rooftop oasis brings the tropical vibes from the Miami original, right to the heart of NYC. Lush, green and colorful outside and in, the rooftop is both chic and charming, and the views over NYC are fabulous.

A rooftop oasis with sweeping views of the city, Broken Shaker offers an eclectic menu of handcrafted cocktails and fresh bites. Created by Gabriel Orta and Elad Zvi of Bar Lab, Broken Shaker is a James Beard Award finalist and winner of Tales of the Cocktail’s Best American Hotel Bar.

Located in Manhattan’s Flatiron District, Freehand New York is housed in the former George Washington Hotel—once home to many storied writers, musicians and creatives. Freehand NY is cool and artistic without being pretentious and not to heavy on the budget too. With buzzy features including three trendy restaurants, two bars, and a lounge space jam perfect to get some work done. Rooms and public spaces are filled with original, commissioned artwork to honor the creative spirit.
