    Straight to the Top
    We took our 9yo niece to New York for her Christmas gift. The Rockettes and The Lion King were both entertaining; but I think the nightime view of the Big Apple from atop the Empire State Building were everyone's favorite. Light twinkling and sights visible (thanks to the complimentary tower optics on the 86th floor). But I would highly recommend paying just a few $'s more, so that you can continue your experience up to the 102nd floor observatory. NOTE: If you are pressed for time, or have young children with you, then paying for the express pass is worth skipping the lines of tourist to the top.

    Quick NYC trip
    I had a couple days open before Christmas so a friend and I did a quick trip to NYC. We booked the sunset time slot at the Empire State Building and added the all-inclusive dinner package the Grill at the Empire state Building. It was all fantastic! The views in daylight then the lights at night followed by a delicious meal which was for NY reasonably priced. First time to NY for my friend and this was our first stop from the airport/hotel check in. It was so much fun and a great experience.
