A picture-worthy view for your personal art gallery. The seasonal rooftop terrace at The Swirl Factory is that and more. With a BBQ grill and seating all around, it’s our favorite spot to admire the Manhattan skyline. To elevate your NYC foodie experience, Tempura Matsui serves Michelin-rated Japanese food just downstairs. The fitness center also provides plenty of space for lifting weights or boxing. The apartment includes a fully equipped kitchen and cool tones of modern art. Grab a taxi and take a 10-minute ride past Grand Central Station to the iconic Rockefeller Center. Or enjoy a picnic while people-watching in Bryant Park. Come and go with ease at this home.
