Top of the Rock, New York City

In all the times I've been to NYC, I've always gone to the top of the Empire State Building. But this time we wanted to try something new. We went to the Top of the Rock (Rockefeller Center) and I'm so glad we did. I prefer this view over the Empire State Buildings...because the Empire State Building is IN this view! So it makes the pictures all the more iconic and breathtaking. I loved it. There are several levels to the observation deck which adds to the wonder of it all. The staff was great, and the security guard took our picture in a really fun way! We stayed up even longer than I expected because we enjoyed it so much.

My daughter and i agree, this view was superb! It gave you the iconic New York look, with the Empire State Building in the background. You could also see Central Park very nicely. We had gone to Empire earlier, but loved Top of the Rock. I felt more comfortable at Top of the Rock as well. There were three levels of viewing, all worth taking a look. My knee was giving me trouble on this trip. The stairs that I needed to walk to get to each level weren't a problem at all. Very good time.
