Thank you for your review. We were in NYC this weekend and followed your advice on Top of the Rock. It's a stunning vantage point to view all of Manhattan. Even with overcast weather, the views were breathtaking!

You are spot on and really get it! Born and raised in NYC, and a frequent visitor now, I’ve always maintained that the view from Top Of The Rock at Rockefeller Center is STILL the best view of NYC… In fact, with all of the exciting new skyscrapers, (30 Hudson, One Vanderbilt, One World, Brooklyn Tower, Central Park Tower, BofA Tower, etc.), AND the classics, (Chrysler Building, Empire State, etc.), the view from Top of the Rock is even better! Thanks for the video (and validation!) 👍🏽

Thanks for the review. A proposal for an observation deck has recently been approved for the Chrysler building . It will be on the 61st floor (floor with the silver eagles). it will include new restaurants, retail and a food hall and should open either '23 or '24. Fingers crossed.

I will be excited to go to the top of this observatory. The Chrysler building is my favorite skyscrapers of all time… a true beauty queen! That being said… I don’t believe the Chrysler building is tall enough or positioned well enough (it’s too far East) to offer the most spectacular views of the city.

The Statue of Liberty has an observation deck at the top of the pedestal and at the crown. Furthermore, Riverside Church, the Harlem Watchtower, and the Jefferson Mrket Library also have observation decks. There are rooftop terraces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, and the New Museum. On top of this, One Chase Manhattan Plaza, 70 Pine Street, and the Marriott Marquis Times Square have sky high restaurants where one can take in the view.

Thanks for watching. The two I mentioned near the end of the video are pretty good. I especially like the view from the 230 5th bar/restaurant (great view of the Empire State Building). Another free place to catch a good elevated view of the skyline is just walking across the Brooklyn Bridge… terrific (and 100% free). You also have some decent skyline views (ground level) on the Jersey side… the view from the Jersey City 9/11 Memorial is pretty good.

TOTR at sunset - the worst experience. do you have any idea of the reality of it when there - the crowd is full, people hogging the best places from earlier tickets getting in early, people refuse to move, and its near impossible to get a good shot of the ESB in sunset because hundreds of others are doing it. get real, dude. and its interesting you don't mention about the obscene waiting times too. same with one vanderbilt. i am avoiding sunset. best to go either first thing in the morning for good daytime view, or after sunset for night lights view. plus, with the weather now and over the next month, sunset is bound to disappoint with the cloudy weather and poor air quality.

Several clips on the video show Top of the Rock at Sunset… yes, you’ll need to wait in line and there’s always people at the top... it’s NYC not some quaint National Park. If crowds are unbearable… don’t visit NYC in the summer… visit during March/April or Oct/Nov.
