Bar 30: Scarily touting your entire (out-of-town) family through Times Square? Work within a stone's throw of "The Rock?" Since you're already forced to be in the area, pop in to Bar 30 and quench your thirst for both booze and views. Despite the fact that this place presides over an area otherwise known for its Christmas tree, it's still worth braving the hordes of tourists for a summertime mojito. After all, owners House Beautiful and Rock Center have teamed up to give this summertime space an (almost) Hamptons-esque vibe. Outside, a bright whitewashed deck fits the bill for outdoor cocktails and snickering at out-of-towners, while the inside lounge is splashy but airy, offering relief if your SPF isn’t doing the trick. It's not the sort of place where you should expect to see Tina Fey, but you can encounter plenty of other visitors desperate to see her--or at least to glimpse that hot girl who plays Cerie. Get here while it’s hot (as in heat) because the place it set to close after labor Day.
