From 230 Fifth’s 20th floor, outdoor “igloo” domes that can accommodate 11 friends, to the rooftop at the McKittrick Hotel that transforms into The Lodge at Gallow Green, check out some of the best places to grab a custom cocktail and get away from the chill in the air for a while. And don’t miss our newest feature series Tourist in Your Own City (page 62), with six remarkably unique things to check out this month like the new Build Studio by AOL in the East Village, the annual Valentine’s Haunted House at Blood Manor, and the subterranean market TurnStyle at Columbus Circle.
