The many sights of Midtown

If you were to close your eyes and picture a really big city, we bet it'd look a lot like Midtown Manhattan. Gazing downtown from our high perch at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, we get an unmatched view of an even more famous Art Deco tower: the Empire State Building. Just to the right beyond a sea of skyscrapers, One World Trade Center marks the heart of Lower Manhattan. Shift your eyes a bit further right and you'll see the hills of Staten Island rise above New York Harbor, while off to our left, the expanse of New York City stretches on to the storied borough of Brooklyn. Do an about face on this 360-degree viewing deck and you'll also glimpse Queens and the Bronx, rounding out the city's famous five boroughs.
