The Top of the Rock at sunset looking north west over Central Park. It's amazing how vast NYC looks from 800 ft above the street! I would highly recommend a trip to the top or around sunrise/sunset. They pack you in like sardines and although you are arm to arm with the person next to you, there was ~ 6 inches of distancing between faces so it was all good... I would recommend Top of the Rock over the Empire State building. I think having the Empire State building in the shots is much better than not having it. Just my opinion...
