Feel that? Summer is just around the corner, but before we can revel in lazy days oceanside in the Hamptons, we bask in the lukewarm rays of spring. Here at Haute Living, we like to do our basking from the top, and in Manhattan, there is no shortage of rooftop terraces to take advantage of. Here are four sky-high outdoor terraces to help you welcome spring.
