Every visitor to New York looks forward to rising above the city for some spectacular views of the skyline.\u00a0 But, how should one go about doing it?\u00a0 Do you ascend to one of the city\u2019s major observatories?\u00a0 Or, can you find a more casual setting to enjoy the cityscape?\u00a0 Is it possible that the best views in New York are found outside of the state entirely?\u00a0 We got the answers to these questions in our following list of the Top 5 Best Views in New York!<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Empire State Building<\/h4>\n

\"top-best<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The climb to the Empire State Building’s 86th<\/sup> floor observatory represents a pop-culture pilgrimage for millions upon millions of people.\u00a0 For some, it presents an opportunity to reenact their favorite scene from a Hollywood movie.\u00a0 For others, an Empire State Building trip provides an immersive experience focusing on American architectural history.\u00a0 But, no matter the reason why you pick up an Empire State Building ticket<\/a>, one thing is for certain:\u00a0 The view of the New York skyline will leave you dumbstruck.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Top of the Rock<\/h4>\n

\"top-best<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But, there\u2019s something missing from the view atop the Empire State Building: \u00a0The historic edifice itself! \u00a0Thus, the Top of the Rock could easily vie for the title of best observation deck in New York.\u00a0 It provides something special that the others simply can\u2019t, which is a view of the city that includes the Empire State Building and One World Trade Center.\u00a0 Additionally, a Top of the Rock ticket<\/a> grants access to two exquisite Swarovski art installations and as many observation decks as its two major competitors combined.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One World Observatory<\/h4>\n

\"top-best<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With One World Observatory tickets<\/a>, you can take a bite out of the Big Apple from a completely new angle!\u00a0 You\u2019ll start off inside the Sky Pod, where you\u2019ll ride to the 100th<\/sup> floor in less than a minute, all while enjoying a video covering the history of New York. \u00a0Then, boogie to the heartbeat of the city inside the See Forever Theater.\u00a0 Finally, after reflecting on the New York cityscape, you can peer straight down through the Sky Portal to the busy streets below.\u00a0 It\u2019s one of the most popular things to do in New York!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

New Jersey<\/h4>\n

\"top-best<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A lot of visitors to New York don\u2019t realize that some of the most popular views of New York are actually from the neighboring state of New Jersey.\u00a0 Some of the most iconic pictures of the city have been taken from across the harbor.\u00a0 Visit Liberty State Park in Jersey City to see the entire New York skyline at just a glance.\u00a0 Or, try Pier C Park in Hoboken for another great vantage point.\u00a0 Chances are you\u2019ll recognize these views of New York City from some of your favorite movies and T.V. shows.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rooftop Bars<\/h4>\n

\"top-best<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the best kept local secrets includes a drink and a view.\u00a0 If you just can\u2019t get enough of the New York skyline, search out one of the city\u2019s numerous rooftop bars.\u00a0 For a fraction of the price of an observatory ticket, you can enjoy some of the best views in New York while sipping on one of your favorite cocktails.\u00a0 A short and simple query on the internet should reveal a rooftop bar near you.\u00a0 So, after your Empire State Building trip, you can enjoy a view of the iconic building from the comfort of a barstool.<\/p>\n
