Magic Hour · New York
Carousel bar, putt-putt and Empire State views over Times Square
Why we recommend Magic Hour in New York: it is the city's largest all-season hotel rooftop, and it leans all the way into fun. Perched on the 18th floor of the Moxy Times Square hotel at 485 7th Avenue, this 10,000-square-foot playground pairs a straight-on view of a lit-up Empire State Building with a slowly rotating carousel bar, a mini putt-putt course, an oversized topiary garden, and multiple bars under string lights. It is not a quiet cocktail den - it is a big, playful, high-energy scene built for group celebrations, birthdays, bachelorette parties, and a night that starts at sunset and rolls late.
