Summer in New York is the ideal season for hanging out on a rooftop.  If you don’t have access to one, my advice is to go out and vet some potential new friends.  Part of the litmus test should be if the individual has ready access to a rooftop.  If so, immediately become friends…..go out now and close those deals.

In the event this new friend is using their friend’s roof, then quickly befriend that person.  Once you are in with the newer friend, you can cut ties with the initial person.  It sounds harsh but all is fair when it comes to the New York rooftop scene.
