Another 2012 trend setter you ask?? 1stClassLadies says while standing up high- IT'S ALL ABOUT THE ROOFTOP BABY!!! If you wanted to party without being squeezed in a room full of sweaty people, then you needed to be at a rooftop event. It is something about rooftop parties that made people feel like like they were living the high life- LITERALLY. Great music, good company, excellent drinks, amazing weather and an unbelievable view- what could be better then that? Don't worry we'll wait........

Night life wasn't the only fun the rooftop was good for. Brunch was also a top choice when it came to rooftop usage. Gathered around a few of  friends to enjoy a mid morning/afternoon meal will filling in the details of the prior night for one another through the scope of each others dark shades. The fellas utilize the rooftop brunch as an early drink spot with the boys which beats shopping with the Mrs. any day.

One final yet big use of the rooftop- Ceremonial events! Weddings, elegant birthday parties, baby showers, engagement dinners- all life changing events all shared on top of the world. Theses were probably the most profitable occasions for rooftop vender's as well as the most memorable  for those dishes out the dollars.
