Pod 39

Vibrant, contemporary budget hotel offering a rooftop lounge, a colorful game room & free Wi-Fi.

"The mix of brick pillars and columns and glowing lights strung overhead makes this 17th-floor rooftop feel a bit more like an eclectic block party than one of New York’s most sought-after post-work (or post-anything, really) drinking destinations. But the views of the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building make it clear that this is no blocked-off side street. That clarity may be short-lived, however, because pitchers of margaritas and Chilean sangria are waiting. Also awaiting you: the tacos from April Bloomfield's Salvation Taco downstairs." [Thrillist]
