    Another incredible night spent at Art SoHo! This rooftop is a true gem and has been a go to spot of mine since 2018. The cocktails are crafted to the utmost perfection, delicious bites available for everyone, and the staff are the kindest people; always such a pleasure to be around :) It’s a perfect spot to invite coworkers, your best girlfriends, first dates, or even just to enjoy the ambiance by yourself. You also have the indoor rooftop section to enjoy in case you visit on a night where the weather takes a turn… making it just as special of an experience!! I adore this place and I think you’re going to feel the same way once you visit!
