New York from the Top of the Rock
One of the best places to see New York as the crow flies is the Top Of The Rock, a viewpoint to 259 meters on the ground 70, one of the buildings of Rockefeller Center complex.
simply turning the head, we have a 360 degree view of Manhattan, which highlights the Empire State Building and Central Park.
If
You do not want to wait very long queues at the Empire State to see the city from the heights, you can get close to 30 Rockefeller Plaza, located between the 5 th and 6 th Avenue at 50 Street:

If you do not find the ticket office, look for the signs indicating complex "Deck Observatory.
The normal price is $ 21, but there are discounts for young people and over 65 years and free if you do you find the New York Pass. You can see the latest prices at:

After buying tickets and spend the usual security checks, do not expect more than 10 minutes to take the elevator. The first thing you notice when entering the lift, the roof is transparent in projecting images with music, and through which, once the projection, we can see the impressive height of the elevator shaft.
After leaving the first level of observation, we find that Central Park is slowly turning its lamps.
From one side of the terrace observation, we can guess the Chrysler Building, which is covered by the MetLife Building.
I recommend up at sunset to enjoy the sunset over the skyscrapers of Midtown and Downtown.
The sunset over the skyscrapers that make Times Square is spectacular:
Although the photo does not have much quality, this frame displayed in the Empire State and Chrysler Building (plus a spontaneous on the left), I think one of the best views of Manhattan's Top of The Rock:
As night falls, the visual spectacle of skyscrapers lit goes "in crescendo"
not think there's a better place to see the colors that "dress" the Empire State at Christmas:
Before we left, after almost 1:30 am, took one last look at the Chrysler Building, which overlooks the lighted tip after the office of Metlife mole:
If you have the opportunity to climb the Top of The Rock, I assure you that you will not disappoint, because the images the city you are going to see from this ideal vantage point, I will forget the excessive price of admission.
way out, we can see the majestic skyscrapers illuminated white highlighting on the other buildings surrounding it.
To end the day, we take a tour around the Rockefeller Center, a very lively area in which we can take something in one of the stalls fast food.
