NYC Rooftop Picnic: Gourmet Bites with Spectacular City Views

Manhattan’s skyline is unmistakable. Experience it up close with a rooftop picnic at the Z NYC Hotel. Book a queen room and select one of two picnic options designed for a relaxed, scenic meal above the city.

The Gold Basket includes a choice of gourmet sandwiches, marinated olives, a mix of seasonal fruit, potato salad or chips, cheese and crackers, bottled water, and chocolate chip cookies. The Platinum Basket offers heartier selections such as roast chicken or smoked salmon, marinated olives, pasta salad, fruit, cheese and crackers, bottled water, brownies, and your choice of mesclun greens or a Caprese salad.

Picnics for two take place on the hotel’s Z Roof, where guests dine with red-checkered napkins and a variety of casual games for entertainment. The boutique property is located in Long Island City, Queens, just one subway stop from Midtown Manhattan, making it an easy urban escape.

Guest amenities at the hotel include complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the property, oversized mattresses with feather beds, heated bathroom floors, complimentary bicycles, and global phone calls. The hotel also offers concierge service and complimentary shuttle transportation between the hotel and Manhattan, adding convenience to the rooftop picnic experience.

Picnic-getaway rates start at $225 per night. Guests can add wine or Prosecco for an extra fee. Some blackout dates apply, so check availability when booking.
