Don’t forget to check out the exhibits on the 2nd floor while you wait for the elevator. They give you some cool insights into the building's history.

My advice is to visit around sunset. The views are absolutely magical and you'll get both day and nighttime city vibes in one go.

If you go on a weekday instead of the weekend, it’ll likely be less crowded. I went on a Tuesday and it was a totally different experience compared to the weekend.

I suggest booking your tickets online ahead of time to skip the long lines. I went on a busy Saturday and regretted not doing that

My advice is to bring a good camera. The Chrysler Building is a photo lover's dream, especially around sunset when the lighting gives it this amazing glow.

If you wanna have fun, try and find a good spot to view the building from the street. There's this little park across the street that’s perfect for selfies!

I suggest visiting around 10 AM to avoid the big crowds. It really makes a difference in enjoying the view without feeling rushed. Plus, the morning light is perfect for pics!

My advice is to check if any special events are happening in the area before you go. I found out about a rooftop bar nearby that was a complete hidden gem but I missed it because I didn't look ahead.
