Try to visit this rooftop bar in Midtown before the weather gets too cold

Located at 63 West 38^th Street atop the Refinery Hotel, the Refinery Rooftop Bar offers beautiful south and west views of Midtown South, including a front row view of the Empire State Building.  The place is spacious with three areas: one indoor, one hybrid indoor-outdoor with a retractable roof and an outdoor space.  Reservations are recommended.  While we found the guest list at the door rather unnecessary, this is a good place to visit for after-work or a date.
