Top of the Rock
Top of the Rock..... Top of the Rockefeller Center. Get it? Because, I literally just figured that out. Anyways, this place offers the best 360 views of NYC. I don't think people realize there are 3 different tiers to view the city from up here. The first level was jam packed, the second level had very few people and the third was almost empty. You don't really need to buy tickets in advance for this, it doesn't seem to sell out. It is kind of expensive, so I suggest taking your time and really enjoying the views. It's crazy to see how enormous this city really is. Central Parks goes on for miles, no wonder it takes weeks to walk through the entire park. It also feels like the the city's skyscrapers are never ending.
