There are a million things to experience in New York City, but there’s only one way to see them all at once. You can start by hopping a Sky Pod to the top of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. There, 102 stories up, find yourself face-to-face with New York’s iconic skyline. Maybe you’ve seen views of the city before, but never quite like this. Walk the three sprawling levels of the Observatory and discover surprises along the way. Drop into the café and grab a bite to eat. Step onto the Sky Portal and stroll high above the crowded streets. Take an interactive guided tour of the city with the help of our Skyline Concierges, available to answer any questions you might have about New York’s long and storied history. And don’t leave without stopping by the One Mix bar for a glass of celebratory prosecco and one last look toward the horizon. See for yourself why One World Observatory is truly An Experience Above.See more..

4.5Astoria Park(314 reviews) - Pleasant walking park and excellent views Lookouts • Parks
This park is right on the East River with great views of Manhattan. It is at the shore between the Robert F Kennedy and Hellgate Bridges. There is a paved walking area near the shore (Shore Boulevard) with 19th St. at the other edge. There are many sports venues in the park, but I was there to walk. There is a free parking lot . The RFK Bridge traffic is loud but it is The City! We saw cormorants, ring-billed gulls, a pair of mallards and brants while visiting. There were many dogs in the park running off leash.See more..

The Lady at the bottom in the tollbooth told us visibility was zero at the summit and the summit is about 5 miles to travel to get to. The radar said that the afternoon would be partly sunny so we took our chances she was right the summit was completely engulfed in clouds after about 45 minutes the clouds got less and less and we got to see with no clouds if you can go on a cloudy day it’s pretty awesome to experience what it’s like to be in a cloud. The top hiking section was close to the WeatherStation due to Covid but many great views are still seen. The bathrooms are open at the top and food concession is also open at the top. Make sure you read your car manual to understand how to drive down steep hills without burning up your brakes. This place was really awesome it’s a must do if you are in the lake placid areaSee more..
