New York City: Top of the Rock

Empire State or Top of the Rock? It seems to be the question when it comes to getting the best view of the New York City skyline. In the end, we didn't have to make a choice since both come with the New York City Pass. I liked how they give you time slots at Top of the Rock. While queueing was still unavoidable, it was quicker and less of a hassle than the Empire State. There are lots of shops around the Rockefeller so it isn't that big of a problem unless you're in a hurry. There's free wifi in the concourse area too if you'd rather just rest your feet and take a minute to go online. It's definitely less crowded and the views are just as awesome. Perhaps the only downside was that there's a glass partition in most of the viewing area. Not good when you're taking photos especially at night (annoying reflections!)
