8 things every New Yorker has done on their rooftop
If you can make it to a New York City apartment building with rooftop access, it’s safe to say that you can make it anywhere.
Scoring a golden ticket to that elusive patch of concrete assures you a few hours of private, quiet outdoor time that a bustling Saturday in the park can’t measure up to. Whether you call a rooftop building home or if you have friends with high connections, there are certain things that every New Yorker has done on a rooftop.
RECOMMENDED: 10 wild animals that call NYC home
1. Attempted growing a garden
Being a plant parent can be tricky in an apartment with little to no natural light available, so once you have rooftop access, moving the succulents and herb patches up there could be your next best decision. But then again, a city rooftop isn’t a greenhouse, so uncontrollable weather, wild pigeons, and interfering neighbors may spoil this grand vision.
2. Sunbathed
If you want to work on your tan in green space around the city, chances are that as soon you’ve found an ideal spot, it starts raining, a squirrel won’t leave you alone, or you’re craving the exact snack you chose not to bring along. It’s no wonder it feels luxurious to sunbathe on a rooftop just a few floors away from your bathroom, fridge, and AC.
3. Worked from home
The eternal struggle when working remotely is realizing that beautiful weather is just waiting outside your window. With a rooftop, you can have the best of both worlds, but when you’re trying to clock in from outside, don’t forget to account for a spotty Wi-Fi connection, sun glare on your computer screen, and traffic noise during your team meeting.
4. Thrown a birthday party, housewarming, or going-away party
What’s more picturesque than a rooftop drenched in fairy lights on a balmy summer night with a perfect skyline view? Your party will likely run into a few snafus that Hollywood’s vision of rooftop parties never quite captures, but the setting alone will ensure that your guests will never forget it.
5. Started a turf war with neighbors
Not every rooftop is created equal, and most involve sharing the space with others in your building. This may entail passive-aggressive exchanges with neighbors about random items someone left behind, attempting to beat everyone else upstairs for a shady spot, and threatening to call the super when someone has one too many parties there.
6. Accidentally dropped something over a ledge
The culprit here was either a gust of surprisingly strong wind or an overzealous hand reaching for something. Hopefully, anything that falls off the rooftop ledge is more along the lines of a paper plate rather than your cell phone or that homemade Mason jar you haggled for at a Williamsburg street fair.
7. Thought they locked themselves on the roof
Blame any sitcom based in an apartment building, but every New Yorker has a slight fear of locking themselves out of their building. What’s even worse are the fleeting seconds of panic when you think you’ve locked yourself on the rooftop while alone. You might resort to 911 calls or desperate shouts to people below before realizing that the door had just jammed and you’re perfectly fine. At least you can say you’re well-rehearsed in case of an emergency.
8. Spied on other buildings or passersby
If you thought the view from your bedroom window was great for spying on neighbors, wait until you realize how much you’re privy to from the roof. You could practically write a neighborhood newsletter about your bird eye’s view of the street’s construction, that one apartment’s questionable nighttime activities, and when the bakery around the corner has no line. After all, from a New York City rooftop, it’s just your own little world.

Here’s How Much The MTA Is Planning To Raise Subway And Bus Fare This Summer
Since the pandemic, New Yorkers have felt in their guts that an MTA fare raise was on the way.
But between only recently celebrating the first 4 million rider day since 2020 and showing off the new futuristic turnstiles and MetroCard – I mean, OMNY machine, this update doesn’t come at much of a shock.
This past Monday, the Metropolitan Transit Authority, which we all know and love, announced a new proposition. This summer, the board announced a fare raise of 5% — bringing the subway and bus base fare from $2.75 to $2.90.
The base fare increase would be the MTA’s first since 2015, and if the proposal is approved, the new fare would go into effect this Labor Day.
The proposal would raise the cost of a weekly MetroCard by 3%, from $33 to $34, and the price of a 30-day MetroCard would go up by 4%, from $127 to $132, their first increase since 2019.
Fares for the express buses, the Long Island Rail Road, and Metro-North Railroad would also rise, as would tolls at bridges and tunnels.
According to NBC, commuters had been bracing for an even more severe increase for months thanks to ridership that has never fully recovered from the pandemic. But a state-funded bailout provided enough money that the fare and toll hike only needs to produce $300 million to balance the transit authority’s budget.
The price increase is a step toward $3 fares, which New Yorkers could see by 2025.
The authority board expects to hold public hearings on the proposal next month and to vote on it in July.
