The Terrace and Outdoor Gardens at the Times Square EDITION
701 7th Ave, 9th Floor · New York, NY 10036 · ⭐ 4.4 (980 reviews)
Few places in New York City manage to feel both exhilaratingly alive and quietly removed from the chaos below — but stepping out onto the ninth-floor terrace of the Times Square EDITION does exactly that. Perched above the electric sprawl of Midtown Manhattan, this rooftop retreat offers couples a front-row view of one of the world’s most iconic skylines, softened by lush garden plantings that bring an unexpected sense of intimacy to the open air. The contrast is intoxicating: the city hums beneath you while the two of you exist, briefly, above it all.
The garden setting gives the space a romantic texture that rooftop bars often lack — greenery softens the edges, warm ambient lighting creates a golden glow after sunset, and the open-sky backdrop makes every moment feel cinematic. Whether you’re sipping cocktails during the blue hour or lingering over dinner as the city blazes to life around you, there’s a genuine sense of occasion here that elevates even a casual evening into something worth remembering.
