Rooftops—home of all the best views, the best memories, and of course, the best Gossip Girl scenes. So if you find yourself craving a breezy rooftop to unwind (or just to pretend you're in Manhattan), look no further than Z on23 Rooftop and Zutro Restaurant in Houston. This city has a lot of patio bars. Like, a lot. And while we do get our fair share of lifted restaurants and bars, we've still been dying for some more, good, sky-high spots to kickback downtown. From sunrise to sunset, Zutro Restaurant serves it all—breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They have an extensive coffee menu (and drink menu including an espresso martini), so you can pair all your faves with their delicious sugar-filled breakfast items.

The $15 daily lunch specials come with gumbo or turtle soup and a chef's choice dessert. From shrimp n' grits to smoked brisket, to burgers and salads, there's an option for everyone on their lunch menu. And don't even get us started on the dinner. You can order menu items including specialty salads, Grandmaw's Mole (yeah, it's a thing), and Redfish Scarlett. Located in Le Meridien Houston Downtown, they're open daily, and valet parking is available for $8.
