My advice is to time your visit around sunset. There's nothing like seeing the city turn from vibrant lights to twinkling stars, but book your ticket in advance to get that prime time!

I think it’s really cool to check out the art deco architecture but don’t miss the secret rooftop gardens at the nearby areas. They offer a quiet break from the busy streets below.

Make sure to arrive around sunset, like 7 PM, to catch both daytime and nighttime city views. It’s a beautiful transition!

If you’re planning to drink, get a pitcher of their cocktails to save some cash. Individual drinks can add up quickly, trust me!

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!

I think you should plan your visit during weekdays instead of weekends if you can. It’s way less crowded and you get to enjoy the space more.
