Empire State Building
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.
Space Needle
I suggest getting your tickets online to skip the long lines; I saved so much time doing this! Just make sure to pick a time slot that works for you.
I'd suggest exploring the park below after your visit; the area is super nice for a stroll and has great photo spots.
My advice is to visit at sunset; the views are absolutely stunning and the city lights up beautifully. Bring your camera!
Willis Tower
I suggest going on a weekday if you can. The lines are way shorter and you can really take your time enjoying the views without heaving crowds everywhere!
My advice is to check the weather before you go. A clear day is the best for those skyline photos. Nobody wants a foggy view!
One World Trade Center
John Hancock Center
I recommend visiting the observation deck right when it opens at 9 AM. It's way less crowded, and you can enjoy the views without fighting for a spot.
grab a drink or snack at the café up there; prices are steep, but it's a great way to soak in the view while you recharge.
My advice is to take your time on the observation deck – don’t rush through it. The sunset views are stunning if you can stick around until then.
I suggest taking the elevator up during off-peak hours if you can. I went around lunchtime, and it was packed – waiting was a hassle!
Chrysler Building
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!
Pyramid Transamerica
I think you should check out the area around the Pyramid before heading inside. There are some great photo ops and hidden gems nearby that you might miss if you just focus on the building. Trust me, the extra time is worth it!
432 Park Avenue
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.
