a cool view, albeit different because its not from a skyscraper, is up by the UN, at tudor plaza. there’s the overpass with the UN building behind you, the shiny Chrysler building ahead of you and a great picture opportunity stretching down 42nd street. also recommend walking along the trails along 9W in jersey for great panaromas of the new york skyline….glad you brought the jersey/nyc perspective considering that jersey offers good vantage points of the city may have to check out the top of the rock, because i love views!

It sounds like you’re not really recommending it, but I think your description of being the only person up there sounds amazing. I definitely want to do that.

There was something so peaceful about being at the Top of the Rock so early in the morning while no one else was there. It would be awesome to have a picnic breakfast or journal up there with the sprawling view. However, $17.50 seemed like a lot of money just to see the view. With that said, I’d recommend it if you go super early or perhaps for the sunset viewing or if you have family/friends visisting who’ve never been here before, but not if it’s just you in the middle of the day when you’d have to deal with annoying tourists because, as Len mentions, there are lots of FREE places to view the Manhattan skyline.

Great review! I loved the description. P.S. I hear Alec Baldwin DOES brush his hair before he goes to the Rock…for no less than four hours.
