This is a great video!!! 🙂 Thank you! Please can you suggest affordable hotels near Manhattan?
Which one is best for if you have a walking cane and need to sit down?
Wish I had seen this video prior to my visit, last week we visited the TOR, and the empire state building, and we went on a elevated ride for TOR.
Oh wow, didn't know One Vanderbelt had such a cool observation deck. Enjoyed The Edge but that is a neat interior
Any one can help me to identify an old building in New York (may be in uptown) which our tour guide has explained (6 years back with I visit NYC) that this build made with no edges assuming that wind will not struck in the corner and hence virus will not enter inside the building and it may protect from the pandemic in old days….I cannot remember the name of the building and the detailed history, Plz any one can help me on this…. interest learn more about this… just the name of the building plz …..
scotts corner rd property isnt worth 369k. idv who praised it my adjusters said at tops id give u 275k cash for it… take it or leave it,its 275k more then u had yesterday
thats it. whoever is running against bruce almighty this yr, im endorsing your campaign 100k cash ill have rachy and tia bring the donation money to your democratic office today or tomorrow before the concert….
Which is better to take photos at night?
Summit or Top of the Rock?
I guess it's harder to take photos at summit because of all the reflections at the windows?
I seen all of them. I was born there OK I mean, but this is a good video and I’m 8 years old
Great video, thanks!!
Planning to go to NYC in 2025, think i will go for VanderBilt, Empire State and Top of the Rock after this video 👌
Stay in last August end. Visited all observatories but Sommerset (Was not included in the pass). Empire is iconic, fantastic night view from the Edge, best view from Top of the Rock, great view of South NYC and river and ocean from One World. Take a pass if you want to do multiple observatories, consider each ticket is about 50$. Top of the Rock and the Edge have outside terraces, no outside view from One World, Empire view is limited by protection cage. I do not like lean on windows and look down from height, so I liked much the terraces, which gave me no ‘anxiety’ and had also more open view. Edge has also glass section on the floor to walk on the void and djset…My very personal ranking based on the experience: 1) top of the rock 2) the edge and empire 3) one world. I have to say we were four people and we have four different ideas…Do it in different hours of the day to gain different sensations any time!
Tip: The Edge. Don’t buy tickets at machines outside (a few feet from the entrance) as they charge roughly $8 more per couple if you just purchase them on your credit card. Had no queues entering midweek late August. Expensive but wow!
Never tried any of the others but was at summit one in march 24 and did the day into night ticket and the views were out of this world, everything we did in nyc this could not be topped!
I went to one Vanderbilt it was so much fun
Top of the Rock for me…
Bro. what's the weather like in September ??
for me Petronas Towers,Malaysia,Burj Khalifa,World Trade center,US and Empire State building,USA are the best observatikn decks
Thank you so much. I really appreciate you and this video. God bless you
For a tourist visiting New York City I think your videos are the best on YouTube.
Twin towers😭😭😭😭😭
my personal favorite was the one wtc bc of the height and the view is amazing and going up the elevator and looking to the right and seeing twin towers was just amazing
EXCELLENT Observation Deck comparisons. Thank you for all your energy & advice. These are all beautiful views and worth it
Thank you so much
In a city of 10 million, I’d say you’d fail to find a “good quiet day” to go to any of these attractions. 🎉
You're going to have to do this again when they open the observation deck on the Chrysler Building
The Rock is the best observation deck if you want amazing views of all of the city (including central park). The Empire state building is an amazing experience and has great views. Both are definetly worth it.
The Rock is my fave. Just the views. No gimmicks.
Everyone calls it either the Freedom Tower or the World Trade Center. No one calls it "One World" other than maybe corporate people who run it
What is the best time of day to visit each? I feel like daytime is better for top of the rock (Central Park vibes) while sunset is better for the Edge and then nighttime for Empire
Only reason i dont chose the empire or owtc is because those buildings are so iconic so i feel like need to see them on the rooftop im on i honestly think they have the best views but there the 2 most iconic buildings in 🗽 nyc and Chrysler if ur that type of person i perfer the top of the rock
I love this guy and how he reviews. He’s my favorite tour guide..
Summit is best
🔹️Question for the owner of this channel 🤔❔️🔹️ I would like to.know when the Chrysler Building Observartion deck is re-opening 🤔❔️When it re-opens then you'll have 6 observatories in NYC 🗽 ❗️
Is it worth it to pay extra to skip the line? First time ever to NYC and I don’t want to spend a lot of time standing in line.

I have watched several of your videos. Thank you for sharing all your experiences so that I can have the same experience in October!!! I have reserved tickets through Get your Guide for both "Top of the Rock" and "One World"!! Plus, I'm going to do the Hop on Hop off bus (for cheap transport)!!! Thanks again for inspiring me!! NOTE: I was just going to fly through but changed my flight to stay for 2 days after watching your videos!!
Thank you for putting prices lol as someone who is from a small town (Bakersfield CA) I’ll be visiting NYC for the first time in 2027 with my best friend since 3rd grade (we’re both 24 now) .. But I plan on going and boy I sure need to be saving as of now it looks like especially with a 73 dollar price tag observation deck at Empire State Building, and I most definitely want to visit the new World Trade Center ..
;?>,LS~
Done all of them except the Top of the Rock! And im so excited to head back there next month and finalize all the observation decks in NYC. Thanks for the video!! (I'm also so stoked to try the The Beam there now!) 😁
