There's too many rooftops to choose from in NYC, this list is dedicated to those that are worth going to. Note: not all have outside terraces, but the few that dont still warrant a visit for the view.

Sala da tè · Hell's Kitchen · 50 consigli e recensioni
Natalia Quintero: Make a reservation in advance, don't mistakenly sit at the bar, their cocktails are hit or miss, the views are known to be the best in the city. Go for brunch, tea time, or late night drinks.
Terrazzo sul tetto · Central Park · 112 consigli e recensioni
Natalia Quintero: Located at the rooftop of the Met museum. The 'bar' is really just a concession stand that serves alcohol. Not worth going to just for the 'bar' but a must visit if you're already at the Met.
Bar dell'hotel · Garment District · 80 consigli e recensioni
Natalia Quintero: Easy to access, fabulous view of the city (especially the Empire State Building). Not a lot of seats, but a great atmosphere. At least worth visiting once for a drink and the view.
