Top Observation Decks in New York

One thing I wish I knew earlier is to wear comfortable shoes! You'll be walking a lot around the decks and trails, and my feet were killing me by the end of the day.

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!

I recommend checking if they have any special events or happy hours before your visit. You could snag a good deal on drinks!

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

I suggest checking the happy hour specials when you arrive. I saved a few bucks on drinks this way and they were delish!

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!

One thing I wish I’d done was buy tickets online in advance. It saved me a ton of time skipping the lines, and I got a little discount too!

if you're planning to check out the rooftop views, try to go around sunset. it's such a stunning sight and you get the best of both worlds—daylight and nightlife!
