Crow's-Nest-bar

The Crow’s Nest
While this rooftop may not rise above the skyline, The Crow’s Nest still soars — especially in Kip’s Bay, which is a bit of a nightlife desert. While the downstairs Water Club is a little staid and wedding reception-friendly, the Nest feels more like the breezy upper deck of your Peconic Bay schooner with its selection of oysters, burgers, and classic cocktails, plus great views of Brooklyn and Queens.
The Water Club, East River (between 29th & 32nd streets); 212-683-3333.
