We recently celebrated my daughter's Sweet 16 at Cityview Rooftop and Lounge, and it was amazing! Tucked away in College Point, Queens, this place is a real hidden gem. We couldn't... have picked a better spot to kick off summer with a birthday bash.
Inside, they've got a cool bar area with plenty of tables, all surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows. It gives the place a bright, open feel, and the view from the outdoor deck is just wow. On one side, you see the Manhattan skyline, and on the other, the Whitestone bridge. Watching the sunset and seeing the city lights at night made everything so magical.
The staff was fantastic. Joe, the owner, was super helpful with setup tips and had a great eye for detail. Communication was a breeze with Susanne; she's so sweet and quick to respond. On the night, the bartenders and everyone were friendly and kept the good vibes going. Shout out to Jennifer, who was also super sweet and made sure everything ran smoothly.
We went with Joe's catering company for food, and it was a great choice. The food was delicious and a hit with our guests. (Mini crab cakes for appetizer was out of this world!)
All in all, Cityview was the perfect place for our Sweet 16. From the killer views to the awesome staff and tasty food, it made the night super special. Can't recommend it enough!
