Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Westchester

"Located on the top floor of the EPIC Hotel, trendy Area 31 has the reputation of the best view in town as well as exceptionally good food and cocktails. Sunset over the Biscayne Bay and the city skyline from the restaurant’s poolside terrace is absolutely breathtaking, but Executive Chef Wolfgang Birk manages to draw the attention of his guests with his frequently changing menu that is based on sustainable ingredients and focuses on local seafood with a Spanish twist. The menu is extensive but the chef’s fresh ceviche, crudos and tartares are legendary."

"Another solid evening option is one of Miami Beach’s most famous bars, The Broken Shaker. Somehow, this spot has shoot into mixology fame while maintaining a friendly, local atmosphere and top-notch drinks. Or, if a wine and pasta meal sounds absolutely perfect, make your way to Macchialina, known for authentic Italian cuisine and a cozy vibe."

"This bar showed Miami just how delicious cocktails could be. This intimate, tropical outdoor bar that lives inside the Freehand hostel has become a must-visit for any informed drinker passing through the city. Thankfully, the bar hasn’t lost any of its magic over the years and remains the North Star of Miami cocktail culture."

"The Broken Shaker has helped evolve the Miami mixed drink scene bringing the stiff drinks out of the parlor and into the open air. It's not the velvet slipper and smoking jacket type of cocktail club some out-of-towners may be use to. Patrons sip their drinks scattered around the pool and beneath the over-growth."

"If you’re unafraid of the inevitable sugar high, Sugar Factory could be one of the most fun spots to hit with the whole family. Don’t be fooled by the name, there’s more than just sweets to be found here. This shop and restaurant located in South Beach’s Hotel Victor has a huge menu packed with pancakes, waffles, French toast, crepes, sandwiches, pizza, milkshakes, sundaes, and more."

"4 out of 5 stars Restaurants South Beach. Willy Wonka has nothing on this South Beach sugar emporium. Up front, the bulk bins overflowing with sweets and adorable rubber duckies are sure to lure little ones in, but it’s the brasserie in the back that cinches the deal."

"Located in South Beach's Sofi neighborhood, Prime Fish is a large, upscale, sophisticated restaurant with a modern black and white interior dominated by the magnificent mural of a mermaid. Their outdoor space is even more memorable, with a patio shaded by a large spectacular tree. The menu is equally sophisticated with a fantastic raw bar and a mix of everyone’s favorites, such as lobster rolls or crispy clam strips and more upscale dishes such as Alaskan king crab lasagna and Dover sole meuniere with French beans, crunchy toasted almonds, and lemon caper butter."

"Restaurants Seafood South of Fifth. Part of Myles Chefetz’s Prime restaurant empire, Prime Fish is known for its massive plates of seafood, heaping piles of east and west coast oysters, Maine lobster cocktails and much more. But it’s equally touted for its brunch, which is one of the better values in town."

"Does it count as outdoor brunch if the restaurant keeps its doors and windows open the entire time?. Either way, you’ll want to slot this fancy South Beach brunch into your weekend plans ASAP. For $55, indulge in a seafood-filled buffet stocked with everything from sushi and oysters to French toast and fresh veggies."

"Lido Bayside Grill is one of the most romantic spots in Miami. It is a restaurant located at Miami Beach. The view of the bay alone will fill you with happiness."

"Then we wanted to walk around the pool but one of the managers was a bit rude telling us that área was only for hotel guests..."

"This Gainesville import made a name for itself by serving up inventive rolls like the Cobra Kai filled with red onion, tomato, imitation crab, tempura flakes, lemon, Loch Duart salmon, garlic-shiso pesto, and aged balsamic or the Black Dragon made with soft shell tempura, mascarpone, cucumber, scallion, topped with avocado, smoked eel, eel sauce, spicy mayo.

"This family-run Turkish establishment serves authentic, Mediterranean meals in a modest setting. A La Turca is the go-to Mediterranean restaurant in Hollywood. Start your dining experience with the zucchini fritters, then move to the Iskender Kabob, which is a dish of marinated, seasoned and thinly sliced lamb meat cooked on a rotisserie then stuffed between a buttery pita with tomato sauce and yogurt."

"The scent of lamb, charred eggplant, and exotic spices have been luring locals to this casual Hollywood spot for over a decade. Chef/owner Gerardo Avila serves a menu of comforting Turkish fare with a touch of American and European flavors. The result: appetizers like falafel with chickpea, cilantro, and parsley ($7); and beef liver with pomegranate sauce ($10)."

"Turkish cuisine doesn’t seem to get the same attention as the foods of its neighbors, even though it influenced the cuisines of most of the region. Regardless, a visit to this downtown Hollywood spot will make you a cheerleader for Turkey’s kebabs, mezze, and desserts."

"This tiny, classic dining room in Pinecrest feels like you’re in actual Japan, and we don’t mean fast-paced and sophisticated Tokyo. If you were to get on a train from Kyoto to a remote village half an hour away and stumble upon a small restaurant amongst hills and green fields, this would absolutely remind you of Sakura. This shopping center restaurant is easy to miss, but you’ll be glad you found it."

"This edgy Miami Beach restaurant is oozing with a cool and mysterious feel (maybe because the space used to be an auto garage). Whatever you do, don’t miss the fried rice stone pot, the tuna chicharrón roll, the toro sesame leaf taco and the chirashi, a gorgeous rainbow bowl of the Garage’s freshest fish of the day. 1784 West Ave., Miami Beach; 305-763-8355 orsushigarage.com"

"In terms of setting and ambiance, this is perhaps the edgiest restaurant on this list. Located in Miami Beach, Sushi Garage oozes with cool and mysterious vibes. That’s perhaps because the space was formerly an auto workshop."

"Merrick Park is an upscale shopping mall in the Coral Gables area of Miami. What makes the mall unique is that it is primarily an outdoor mall so on those nice and hot Miami days you can still catch some sun while doing a little bit of shopping. Merrick Park features many known high-end brands and is a great place to hang out."

"If you’re in the mood for retail therapy, head to the shiny, new Brickell City Centre mall. With high-end shops and modern architecture, it’s a shopper’s dream. You can also catch a glimpse of the cutting-edge climate ribbon, which was developed to regulate the temperature of this outdoor mall, keeping it comfortable in the summer heat."
