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.

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! "

Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City– A Caesars Rewards Destination

6/10 Okay

"This is a beautiful hotel, however we did not get the waterfront room we reserved and paid for. The biggest let down was the staff. All of the staff in the nice restaurants were amazing! The rest of the staff couldn’t be bothered with our needs. We met a housekeeper in the hallway and asked for our room to be cleaned and were told “we’re only cleaning checkouts today”. I’ve never heard of such a thing. So I said, “well, we’re out of facial tissue. Can we get a box?” She says “I don’t have any with me”. Not, let me call down and have some sent up or let me go get some for you. Just nope. The people in the pool area where also not very accommodating at all!"
