As the saying goes, the view is always best from the top, and New York is no exception. As breathtaking as the skyline can be from popular vantage points like the Brooklyn side of the East River or the flight into JFK, there’s still no better place to marvel at New York’s skyscraping landscape than from the top of some its tallest buildings, namely, the Empire State and Rockefeller Center. Both spots have observation decks open to the public (for an admission price, of course), and offer stunning views from the 103rd and 70th floors, respectively. Rockefeller Center is also host to a battery of shops and eateries at its ground level, a safe plan B for anyone prone to vertigo.
