Bookmarks, Rooftop terrace and bar in Midtown East, New York City, United States.
Bookmarks is a rooftop terrace with bar in the heart of Midtown East offering wraparound views of the city. An elegant indoor room with a fireplace provides a more sheltered setting alongside the open terrace space.
The venue opened in the early 2000s during Manhattan's urban renewal period. It emerged as part of a growing trend of converting unused rooftop spaces into places for dining and social gathering.
The venue references well-known authors and their works through cocktails named after literary characters. Visitors can gather in a fireplace room that evokes the feeling of reading and writing in a comfortable space.
The venue operates from midday through midnight on most days, with weekend hours varying. Making a reservation in advance is recommended to secure a spot, especially during busy evenings.
Friday afternoons bring special pricing on drinks and shared plates offered during a brief afternoon window. This midweek break in the schedule makes it a popular spot for office workers seeking a quick escape from their desks.
