We\u2019ve already pointed out that New York and the Manhattan Skyline are a tapestry of skyscrapers. Why not head up high to get a view? And we’re talking a full 360-degree view.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

It\u2019s got a snazzy name, and Top of the Rock is the perfect place to take in the views. You\u2019ll see New York stretching out into the distance. There are three levels of both indoor and outdoor viewing platforms to pick from, so expect different experiences as you explore each level. You’ll get some great views,\u00a0not forgetting you can see the Empire State Building from it!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Central Park<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It\u2019s got a history has this place, and it\u2019s well worth spending some of your time exploring, to discover it. Even if you just go for a simple stroll before heading to 5th Avenue for the shopping.<\/p>\r\n

You\u2019ve got over 800 acres of land to wander around, and no matter the time of year, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. You’ve got walking, pedicab and horse & carriage tours. Places to sit for a picnic or a lunchtime sunbathe. In summer the park holds music and movie festivals. And when winter arrives, the ice rink is open and during fall, the colours of the trees are the centre of attention.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Take your pick, wander and enjoy the park that is as iconic as the nearby buildings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
