67 floors up you get a pretty good view of Manhattan. We decided on a night time visit to Top of the Rock, an observation deck at the Rockefeller Centre. After taking the 43 second ride to the top in a glass ceiling elevator (my Mum would have died), which left us a bit dizzy and with ears popping, we were met with spectacular views over the city.
Once on the 67th floor you can go up another 2 floors by escalator. The top observation deck is the best as there is no glass obstructing the view. We have both decided we need to come back here in the day time so we can appreciate looking over Central Park (a huge dark expanse at night).
You could see the glow of lights from Times Square, so naturally once we had descended we headed to this iconic spot.
Here is a video to give you a taste of the hustle and bustle of Times Square. I laughed listening back to this towards the end, I'm sooo tired of hearing Americans ordering people to stay in line (excuse the quality, I've had to compress quite a bit to get it up here)
Love to you all back in Adelaide xx
