I knew this one would be good the moment I saw the gazebo. The Views at Mount Fuji in Hillburn, NY has that rare mix of tranquil gardens, Japanese architecture, and a skyline of trees that makes everything feel cinematic.

There’s something about a New York City rooftop that feels like the world pauses for a second. The skyline, the air, the space above everything — it’s the kind of environment where big moments just make sense.
