Perched 22 stories high on the rooftop of The William Vale hotel is Westlight, a chic, swanky joint in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Though it'll cost you a pretty penny to pass the time here, you're paying not just for the drinks, but also for the jaw-dropping aesthetics. In fact, few - if any - places rival the sweeping views of Manhattan's skyline. Most say the food is passable, though nothing special, so consider ordering something small or skipping eats all together in favor of one of the bartender's expertly mixed cocktails. Is Westlight the trendiest, bougiest place in Brooklyn? Probably, but with a views like these, who cares?
