A to Z on the fifth RooftopA to Z on the fifth Rooftop, 16 E 39th St, New York |
Perched atop a stylish Midtown building, A to Z on the Fifth Rooftop offers modern American cuisine with sweeping views of the New York City skyline. Just a short walk from major concert venues and Penn Station, this rooftop spot balances an urban-chic ambiance with a relaxed, welcoming vibe. With both indoor and outdoor seating, it's a year-round favorite for locals and visitors alike.
Its central Midtown location makes it a prime stop for dinner or drinks before a show. The rooftop setting offers a scenic and energetic atmosphere without being too loud, so you can still chat without shouting. The menu features familiar American favorites served quickly, making it easy to grab a bite and head out in time for doors opening. Plus, the cocktails are just right for a celebratory toast before the headliner hits the stage.
Reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable praise the panoramic views, calling the rooftop space “a hidden gem” in Midtown. Guests love the friendly service and note that the food is “better than expected for a rooftop bar.” Standout dishes include the truffle fries and sliders, and many mention the “excellent cocktails” as a highlight. The vibe is described as both “chill” and “upscale,” making it ideal for pre-event meetups.
Some diners mention that the elevator ride up can be a bit slow during prime hours, and the rooftop can fill up fast on warm evenings—so reservations are a good idea. While prices are on the higher side for casual fare, most agree the views and experience justify the tab.
A to Z on the Fifth Rooftop is a scenic, convenient, and stylish spot to fuel up before your NYC concert night begins.
