Elevated Perspectives
The view from the top of the Empire State Building: The view from Top of the Rock: As you can see from both images, sunset is prime time. It’s likely there’ll be a line for the ESB but I’d imagine they can get a lot of people through there pretty quickly. Top of the Rock [...]
NYPL Art and Architecture Room
