To the Top of the Rock!

Rockefeller Center, that is! On a recent beautiful day when I had a break at midday, I went to this little-known tourist attraction located at 51st and 5th Avenue http://www.topoftherocknyc.com/

There is NO line (on a Monday anyway) because everyone is headed over to the Empire State Building for the aerial view -- except at the Top of the Rock, you see all the same stuff AND the Empire State Building to boot!

There are 2 observatory decks (on the 69th and 70th floors) as well as a little museum on the bottom floor. It cost about $15 (a promoter was giving out $2 discounts on the street below, and they are in the visitors section at Penn Station, which is where I first got the idea to go.)

The elevator ride to the 69th floor features a montage of historic events throughout the 20th Century (JFK, Vietnam, etc etc) projected onto the ceiling.

Above are some stellar photos I took!
