    After seeing instagram reels and Tiktoks about this rooftop all summer, I finally went on a Friday evening right when it opened for happy hour! I made a reservation for the indoor seating and we were seated in a covered area, but there was no real "indoors" to the rooftop. As advertised, there was a lemon tunnel and the lemon theme was present throughout the rooftop. There are two sides and on both sides, there were lemon trees, yellow accents, and lemons above the bars. The service was pretty good and we were checked on frequently. We ordered the crispy mac and cheese, fries, and a limoncello, all at discounted happy hour prices. The mac and cheese balls were presented beautifully and one order comes with four balls. They were delicious and my boyfriend really enjoyed them as well. The fries came interestingly in a planter pot and were the thin fries, which were also pretty good. The limoncello came in a plastic bag with a flower on it, and it wasn't bad either, although I would order a different drink next time. The views were also pretty nice, but none of the major New York monuments like the empire state building were in sight. Since we went relatively early, the rooftop was not packed at all, but I assume it gets more filled as the night goes on. Overall, PhD is a great place to get drinks and small bites and overall has pretty good vibes!

    Instagram brought me here and I am not mad about it. The views are beautiful and they currently have a lemon summer theme going on so they have a cute lemon walk way which is great for photos. Otherwise this place seems to be more for drinks than food. We came around 10pm on a Monday night with reservations but they took all walk ins that night. I am sure a weekend is a different story. The drinks were delicious and the views were unmatched. The only ding is the service was pretty lackluster. The hostess was nice but our waitress was nice on first impression but then she clocked out half way through and we never had a new server follow up. I never got the food that we ordered so I went to the bar to cancel and the bartender was pretty off putting he said oh its completely separate from me. Go find a server. Anyways a server jumped in and apologized. She said she could follow up and bring the food but I just canceled the food anyways. We did continue to have drinks though. They were delicious. Like I said more of a place for a night cap.

    I visited the rooftop bar around 12:15 AM and was disappointed to find out that the kitchen closed at midnight, even though the bar itself stays open until 2 AM. I would recommend this spot mainly for the stunning view, which is absolutely beautiful, and the customer service, which, while busy and rushed, is still decent given the crowd. I was hoping to grab a late-night snack while enjoying my drink, but since the kitchen was closed, the staff directed me to a nearby pizzeria offering $1.50 slices. I didn't want pizza, though--I just wanted something to eat upstairs. Still, it's understandable given the high volume of people. There's no entrance fee, and it's a great place to go with a group to chat and relax. I was there for less than 25 minutes before leaving, as I really wanted some appetizers with my drink. Despite that, I would definitely recommend it. It's a touristy spot but worth a visit for the view and atmosphere.
