Top of the Rock in New York City

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

During my visit to New York City at the end of November last year, I spent a morning visiting the Rockefellr Center. This Art Deco tower was built during the Great Depression by Rockefeller. NBC Studios and Radio City are part of the complex. The Rockefeller Center hosts the large Christmas tree and ice rink. I visited the observation deck, called "Top of the Rock".

The views are impressive across Manhattan and Central Park.

I had a glass of white wine and a martini, and my breakfast was a cinnamon bun. It was delicious.

I think the view of the Empire State Building is probably better than being on top of the Empire State Building.

I could also see the Statue of Liberty in the far distance.

At the bottom of the Rockefeller, I saw the Lego shop and went inside to see the different creations.

I was worried about the height of the building, but once I got up there, I was not frightened at all. There are a couple of other attactions with photograph opportunities, but I did not do these.
