Everyone is tired of complaining how cold Chicago has been this spring, so it's a welcome change to see high temps for Memorial Day weekend. And high temps means people want to hang outside ... and lord knows this city is ready to get out and let off some steam.

On Monday, Eater published a list of some hot spots for al fresco drinking and dining, and now we're doing the same, just high above street level. Roof decks provide great views of the city—no matter what part you happen to be hanging in. From Boystown to River North and Bucktown to Downtown, there's no shortage of great spots to grab a drink, order a plate of food and have a good time. [NOTE: NoMI Garden doesn't actually open until June 3.]
