A Secret Rooftop on the Upper West Side


Now, I'm born and raised in the South Bronx, and sometimes I don't feel like going all the way downtown to hang out at 230-Fifth or Hudson Terrace to get my rooftop fix.  Frankly, I don't always want to spend the money!  It's nice to know that there are some hidden gems in the Harlem-ish area where I can kick back, drink some good cocktails, and, more importantly, just be me.  I went to a rooftop bar and grill call The Heights, which, contrary to its name, is actually located on Broadway between 111th and 112th of the 1 train. 


THE VIBE, YOU ASK? Extremely chill: Those jeans randomly lying on the couch and a t-shirt will suffice.  Ladies, let down your hair that you've had to wear up at your cubicle job and put on your favorite jeans and favorite halter top.

At times the music is a testament to the mid 90's - early 2000's era: Common and Lauren Hill were on heavy rotation. But the music is eclectic.

This is the perfect place for your group of friends to drink the night away while enjoying some decent-ish Mexican food.  Make this your Friday night place to unwind from a long week of work.
