Refinery Rooftop

Located on the 13th floor of Refinery Hotel, Refinery Rooftop (63 West 38th) offers an unbeatable NYC view year-round. The retractable roof stays closed during the colder months and the outdoor terrace is tented to ensure rooftop season never ends. Pair an iconic view of the Empire State Building with one of their new signature cocktails, such as the Cuffing Season Frozen Cider, made with Redemption Rye Whiskey, Apple Cider, Apple Pie Moonshine, lemon, and baking spices. The best part? The cocktail benefits the I Give a Sip campaign which donates a portion to a different charity each month. Cheers to a continued outdoor drinking season for a good cause!

Mr. Purple

Mr.Purple is located on the Lower East Side and is a 15th floor bar that crowns the Hotel Indigo.

Veteran barman Nico Szymanski (Irvington) centers the cocktail menu ($15 per drink) on festive punch-style pours and pre-bottled elixirs. For a lightweight sipper, the eponymous Mr. Purple spikes an autumnal mix of apple juice and allspice dram with Casamigos reposado tequila and tart cranberry liqueur, while a stealthily boozy GG MANHATTAN, with woodford reserve bourbon, carpano antica vermouth, angostura bitters.
