Description: Located at the top of the Indigo Hotel, Mr. Purple is an iconic rooftop serving amazing views, food, and drinks. Especially under current circumstances, this is one of the best spots for a celebratory night out. They limit tables to 6 people and there is a minimum cover but they stay open until 2am, it’s always a great time here.

Description: The Greens at Pier 17 is one of our favorite spots right now. The views are gorgeous and the setup is so on point.

Highly recommend this place.
