This view is from the Press Lounge, at the top of the Ink Hotel. Very nice spot, and I feel it has some of the better views of the city. The staff is also extremely nice and professional, which is always a plus. Expect to pay around $17 for a glass of whiskey, however.

Pier I (West 70th street) is one of my favorite places to hang out at in the summer. You’re treated to a very nice view of part of the skyline. Facing the other way, you can see the New Jersey skyline, which is actually very beautiful as the sun sets over it. It’s also relaxing to just sit or stand there and watch the sailboats and jet skis go by.
In addition, there’s an outdoor cafe there that sells booze. Great place to take a date on a nice summer night.
It’s next to the West Side Path, so watch out for bikers when you’re heading home after a few drinks.

The Manhattan skyline is beautiful at night with all of the lights shining. In this photo you can see many major corporate buildings, such as the Conde Naste Building (the one that says H&M on it) and the Bank of America Tower behind it.
Towards the right side of the image, you can see the Empire State Building hiding behind the New York Times Building.

I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. The sky was turning this amazing shade of purple as the sun was setting, and there were enough clouds in the sky to make it a bit more interesting. The High Line is in the distance.
