ROOF at the Wit Hotel
The newly opened ROOF proved it was the summer of 2009’s IT place to be. Though other rooftop bars offered more awe-inspiring views, patrons at the always-packed ROOF cared less about sky gazing and more about star gazing: NFL and NBA entourages were frequent sights, as were Pretty Young Things in glittering minis and stiletto heels. Though most patrons ordered shots and martinis at the bar, those who dipped into chef Todd Stein’s menu were treated with succulent fare at a reasonable price, and spinners like DJ Frank Solano kept the summer nights pumping with deep house and down-tempo beats.
