The Flower Shop Rooftop
7.8
A Tribeca rooftop built for cocktails, easy share-plates, and a fun, vintage-leaning vibe that works best as the middle (or start) of a night out. The food is simple and snackable—good enough to anchor the drinks, not compete with the view.
Must-Try Dishes:
Crispy Calamari, Gambas a la Plancha, Cucumber Gimlet

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and competitive; garages are available nearby but expect higher evening rates. Rideshare is the easiest option.
Dress code: Smart casual to dressy-casual—jeans are fine, but rooftop-appropriate looks work best.
Noise level: Moderate to lively—easy conversation early, louder as the night goes on.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation, longer around sunset.
Weekday lunch: Not applicable—primarily an evening rooftop.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—several shareable vegetable-forward plates available.
Vegan options: Limited—expect 1–2 options or light modifications.
Gluten-free options: Some naturally gluten-free dishes, but no dedicated menu.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, especially if drinks and atmosphere matter more than a long, sit-down dinner—it's relaxed, fun, and low-pressure.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes on weeknights or earlier in the evening; weekends are tougher, so arriving early or being flexible helps.
Is it kid-friendly? Not really—this is a cocktail-focused rooftop best suited for adults and older teens.
Best For
Better for: Casual rooftop drinks, shareable snacks, and a social, go-with-the-flow night out.
Skip if: You want a food-driven dinner, quiet conversation, or a more polished luxury rooftop experience.
