IF Rooftop is a bit of a hidden treasure, but it’s well worth the hunt. While the rooftop isn’t quite as big as some of as its competitors, there is still plenty of space, and there is very little in the way of nearby buildings to stop the sun from reaching your face. What’s more, the views are great.
