It’s officially the dog days of summer and as the temperatures rise and humidity leaves New Yorkers parched and overheated, cooling down in style becomes imperative. The PR Net combed the city for the most stylish rooftop pools and bars (some new, some classic) where New Yorkers can kick back with a view of the city.
The Jimmy at the JAMES
18 stories high atop The James Hotel in SoHo, JIMMY is a contemporary interpretation of the classic pub, with a 1970’s New York twist. The pool parties at JIMMY at The James are always fun, relaxed affairs taking place on Saturdays and Sundays throughout summer.
