Sip a strawberry-lychee mojito or a peach-and-bourbon tea—both off of their signature cocktails list—at one of the two bars at this outdoor terrace with awesome views of Times Square and beyond. Or grab a comfy lounge seat and a group table under a cabana. There, you can splurge for Four’s unique bottle-shaker service, where you’re presented with your spirit of choice and a caddy of fresh fruit. Hotel clients, former Hudson Hotel and Salon de Ning refugees, and residents of the nearby luxe condominiums who are curious about the soft light and lush greenery they spy from their windows above intermingle while acts like Tom Middleton and Louis Vega may spin tunes. But the real attraction is the glimmering city backdrop and fabulous people-watching. — Perri Ormont Blumberg
