Unlike other observation decks, Top of the Rock provides a clear view of the Empire State Building, making it a favorite for photographers.
The observation deck was originally opened to the public in 1933 as part of the Rockefeller Center complex.
The building's lobby features a stunning mural by Spanish artist Josep Maria Sert, depicting American progress.
The observation deck is located on the 70th floor, approximately 850 feet above street level, offering panoramic views of the city.
The observation deck was closed from 1986 to 2005 for renovations and modernization efforts.
The complex, including Top of the Rock, is a prime example of Art Deco architecture, characterized by its geometric shapes and ornate detailing.
It is part of the Rockefeller Center, a 19-building complex that spans 22 acres in Midtown Manhattan.
