The best thing about Manhattan is the way it looks from Brooklyn.
Sure, the city s got plenty of other draws, but the view is its initial charm: It s postcard-perfect, a reminder of what New York looked like before you knew it in earnest. Or at least, that s always been my take on the matter. So it should come as no surprise that my preferred form of local tourism revolves around a Brooklyn rooftop with a view. And there are few finer vantage points than the rooftop of The William Vale hotel which makes it the ideal spot for a staycation.
