C-View Rooftop | Rooftop guide 2012

The city view is the thing at this 29th-floor bar—at least, that’s what everybody says. But though the patio section is nice, some of the spot's beauty is in the carefully crafted cocktails—try the Way South!: Tequila, Lillet Blanc, lime, black pepper and fresh honeydew-cucumber puree. And don't forget to cast an eye on executive chef Nicole Pederson's menu of bar snacks, including oysters by the half-dozen or dozen and a choose-your-own artisanal cheese platter.
