Beautiful views of New York City!

Waking up early for the sunrise views of New York was totally worth it! The early morning atmosphere was serene, and being one of the few people on the observation deck felt great. The view from the observation deck gave me an incredible perspective of New York City. I also enjoyed the fun history exhibits about the building's history, learning about its construction and role in movies. This is a must-do for anyone who loves unique experiences in the city!
