About ART Midtown
Perched atop the Arlo Midtown Hotel at 351 West 38th Street (the rooftop sits on the 26th floor), ART Midtown is part of the ART Rooftops group, with a sister rooftop over in NoMad. The views sweep across the NYC skyline — Hudson Yards and One World Trade Center included — and the vibe runs lively from sunset into the night. The menu is intentionally simple and elevated: inventive cocktails and light, shareable bites.
The Happy Hour in Detail
The happy-hour draw is the $9 mini frosés and spritzes — a low-commitment, summer-friendly way to drink with a view without the full rooftop markup. As reviewers note, a weekday happy hour or early-evening visit is the more relaxed, better-value window before the weekend crowds arrive. Confirm the current days and times when you go, since rooftop windows shift with the season and weather.
What to Order
During happy hour, the mini frosés and spritzes are the move. Beyond them, the cocktail list is inventive and the shareable pizzas are the crowd-pleaser — a fun, social order built for a table soaking in the skyline. Keep it light; the view is doing the heavy lifting.
The Space & Vibe
Lively and polished, with a fun “secret” elevator route up and an escape-from-Midtown feel once you’re there. It’s relatively small — table and bar seating, with the rooftop itself as the main event — so reservations and a request for a rooftop spot are smart, especially on warm nights. It works for a date, a group, or solo, and it’s a sought-after private-event space.
The Midtown Angle
On West 38th near the Theater District and Times Square, ART Midtown is walkable from the A/C/E at 34th-Penn Station and the N/Q/R/W at Times Square — a strong pre-show rooftop drink. Pair it with the Hudson Yards and One WTC sightlines at sunset for the best of it.
