3. Top of The Rock

A breathtaking NYC view is waiting for you on the 70th floor of the Rock Center Observation Deck. While the Empire State building is what first springs to mind for New York views, this is better as you’ll be able to see the Empire State in all its glory.

Built on the site of the former Domino Sugar Refinery, this 5-acre park has an industrial-style playground, sunbathing spots and a funky taco restaurant.

An elevated walkway gives you breathtaking views of the NYC skyline from across the river and you can walk right up to Williamsburg Bridge.
