Top of The Rock

Locker's Manor: New York's most luxurious visual feast Step up to this 270-meter-high open-air observation deck and you'll get a God view of Manhattan. Unlike the crowded Empire State Building observation deck, the three-story terrace gives every visitor a unique sky. The most striking is the south-facing view. The spire of the Empire State Building is within easy reach, the glass canyon of the financial district is stretched at the foot, and the Hudson and East rivers are stitched together as two silver belts. The most beautiful at dusk, when the sunset lit the torch for the stainless steel spire of Chrysler Building, the whole city began to flow golden blood. The glass fence on the top floor is designed to eliminate the fear of heights and not hinder shooting, and even the selfie stick can find the perfect fulcrum. Suggest buying tickets for sunset. Watching millions of lights awake at dusk, Central Park turned into a jade gap in darkness, and the green shadow of the distant goddess of freedom quietly lit up New York, more than all postcards. Don't forget to touch the bronze sculptures at the entrance when you leave, and the reliefs depicting construction workers in the 1930s remind you that the most moving scenery of this observation deck is the human courage to build it.

On the night of arriving in New York on September 17, I arrived at the Rockefeller Center's Stone Viewing Platform. Because according to the brothers who have been to New York, the night view of the Rockefeller Center's Stone Viewing Platform is better, according to the two popular viewing platforms in New York City. After coming up, I found that it was better to see Manhattan night view at the top of the boulder the nearby Empire State Building and Chrysler Building stand out in the high-rises of Manhattan, with lights on the top, and stand out. In addition to the scenery, you can also learn about the building's history by the way, buy favorite souvenirs at the tourist souvenir shop on the basement floor of Rockefeller Center, or eat and shop at other stores. But most of the shops here are closed at 9pm, and for night owls, you can go shopping first and then climb the view. In addition, the 10,000 flags around the sinking square in Rockefeller Center are also a major feature, and you can find a photo of your own country's flag.

The cliff top observation deck is not on-going, tickets need to be taken in advance, there is time for the session. I didn't know that I arrived the day before. There was only a ticket for the evening that day, so I made an appointment for the next day at noon. Before taking the elevator upstairs, the staff will take pictures of the guests on the top floor as the background. The guests sat on a platform and made various expressions such as "scared" and "excited". To be honest, I felt a bit silly, but no one said no, and I was embarrassed to refuse. Then the elevator went directly to the top of the 70th floor. The elevator was very cool. You can see the changing light and shadow effect when you look up. Because you just over New York on the roof of the Empire State Building, and the weather is not good, this top is not a big surprise. But there is also its advantage, that there are fewer tourists than the Empire State Building, and you can see the panoramic view of Central Park.
