I consider myself to be a southern boy for life, so living in Manhattan can be difficult at times. I try and escape upstate as much as possible, and have spent more than my fair share exploring central park, but I will never lose my love for nature, and unfortunately Manhattan is basically the opposite of the wilderness. The one saving grace of New York living is that any time you feel overwhelmed by the concrete cage, all you have to do is go up to a rooftop, take in the view, look at the sky, and all will be well with the world.

Fortunately, architects know this and have created hundreds of beautiful rooftops in the city. Here are five such rooftop sanctuaries. Spring is on it’s way, so its only a matter of time before we can actually leave our winter hobbit holes and enjoy them again.
