New York City might have some incredible views – but for a view of the Manhattan skyline, you can’t really beat a window-side table at this sleek restaurant, which overlooks the Hudson River. Chart House is definitely on the fancy (read: expensive) side, although it’s worth it for its luxurious ambience (and, of course, those vistas). The menu is dominated by impeccably prepared surf ‘n’ turf dishes, while, for dessert, it has to be the lava cake.
