Mid-Atlantic Country Houses

30 Rockefeller Plaza is an Art Deco skyscraper in the middle of Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan. At 850 feet (260 m) high, the 70-story building is the 14th tallest in New York City and is a great place for capturing views at sunset (especially because it offers views of the Empire State Building).

To get this shot, head to the top of Rockefeller Center, known as "Top of the Rock." The entrance is on W 50th St between 5th and 6th Avenues. Tickets can be purchased on the basement level of building. Be sure to purchase your tickets in advance in order to make your way to the top by sunset (the entry system is timed). Also allot time for a security screening and wait times at the elevator.

Once you arrive at the observation deck take the escalator to the upper levels where your views won't be impeded by the glass windscreens. Tripods are not allowed (although monopods are allowed), but you can rest your camera on the stone barriers of the upper observation deck. Additionally you can use a table-top tripod for stability.

NEW YORKER BY LOTTE HOTELS

8/10 Good

"The Room and Bathroom could use a little touch up peeling paint same as some of the wallpaper. "

Tropicana Atlantic City – A Caesars Rewards Destination

2/10 Terrible

"The bottom floor where the front desk and valet parking are had a strong smell of sewage. I booked two identical rooms and called multiple times to request adjoining. They wouldn't guarantee it. When we checked in, they told us they couldn't give us adjoining rooms but that were in the same hallway. When the rooms were finally ready (5 pm, website quotes 4pm), the rooms were nowhere near each other. The rooms were old, stained curtains and chairs, smelled like smoke. I called the front desk and they sent me to a call center supervisor who said they couldn't help me. Between gambling, dinner reservations, drinks, and cover charges, we spent a lot of money on a single night. The Quarter is cool and Carmine's food was yummy. We had fun dancing at Kiss Kiss but the room and the front desk team were terrible."
