Let Leonessa take you to a quintessential summer day in New York City.
Fresh off an unforgettable Mother’s Day weekend, I found myself immersed in one of the season’s most stylish and high-vibe events: SUNSET OVER WALL STREET — OCHO DE MAYO at Bar Tontine, a sprawling rooftop oasis perched high above the city at The Wall Street Hotel. With sweeping views, curated cocktails, and a guest list buzzing with energy, this night was a true celebration of spring, hospitality, and luxe downtown culture.
In the vibrant core of St. Petersburg’s EDGE District lies Moxy St. Petersburg Downtown, a hotel that feels like an extension of the city’s artistic and eclectic spirit. With its playful design, prime location, and signature rooftop restaurant, Moxy is not just a place to stay—it’s a destination that immerses you in the energy of St. Pete.
I was extremely excited to experience Magic Hour Rooftop’s Surf Club pop-up, and was deflated once I heard the event had been moved three weeks later, to the end of July.
As a man about this town I’ll be the first to tell you NYC’s nightlife has a new star: Vintage Green, the newest rooftop bar located at 303 Lexington Avenue atop The Shelburne Sonesta New York. On Tuesday, July 23, the much-anticipated launch party pulled out all the stops, offering guests a night to remember.
This summer, our one simple request is luxury—think: exquisite views, delectable spreads, and remarkable cocktails. The Balcón Rooftop at The Marmara Park Avenue hotel has all three, making for the most memorable nights.
The Knockturnal was recently invited to experience an evening at Glass Ceiling Nomad, a trendy restaurant located in the heart of New York City.
Spectacular sips with a stunning view are yours to have.
New York may be a long way from Kentucky, but Starchild Rooftop ensured that no one’s derby attire would go to waste! The rooftop was the ideal place to celebrate on Saturday, right in the heart of the city! Located at the Civilian Hotel in Hell’s Kitchen, the spot featured Mint Juleps, shareable cocktails, food specials, and Live Jazz at Rosevale Kitchen. 
I had the pleasure of visiting Slate’s new rooftop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and was able to enjoy premium access before it opened to the general public. Accessible through the Pod Brooklyn hotel, it offers a creative and modern take on the weary rooftop bar concept, and makes drinking amidst a New York breeze somehow feel new again.
