Skyline view restaurants in new york city

It's interesting:
"My first impression of Linda was that she was such a beautiful, witty, charming, clever, friendly and thoughtful person. And when she agreed to marry Paul, it totally proved to me that old adage – opposites really do attract."

As author E.B. White said, "It is a miracle that New York works at all. The whole thing is implausible." At ground level, the city looks like a maze of glass, steel, bricks and stone with skyscrapers blocking the sun and taxicabs blocking the streets. Locals know that to truly appreciate the city, you must find the nearest rooftop restaurant, relax over a good meal, shake off your week and enjoy the beauty of Manhattan's skyline.

1. The View

   • The View, located on the 47th floor of New York's Marriott Marquis hotel, holds the distinction of being the only revolving rooftop restaurant in the city. Its quietly elegant setting with glass outer walls sets the stage for the dramatic views of the city as the restaurant revolves a full 360 degrees once every hour. The View Lounge is located on the 48th floor and serves cocktails, a light dinner buffet as well as a dessert buffet featuring gourmet sweets, artisan cheeses and a chocolate fountain. Children are not permitted in the lounge after 9 p.m. The three-course prix fixe dinner menu offers diners a choice of appetizers, entrees, desserts and a signature cocktail. Sides are available at an additional charge. Popular dishes include the Maine lobster tail, sauteed scallops with butternut squash and roasted rack of lamb.

   • Salon de Ning occupies the rooftop of the 23-story Peninsula Hotel. Two terraces are available with views of Fifth Avenue and the Hudson River.
