Top Ace Hotel in Downstate New York, NY - Expedia

30 Rockefeller Plaza is an Art Deco skyscraper in the middle of Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan. At 850 feet (260 m) high, the 70-story building is the 14th tallest in New York City and is a great place for capturing views at sunset (especially because it offers views of the Empire State Building).

To get this shot, head to the top of Rockefeller Center, known as "Top of the Rock." The entrance is on W 50th St between 5th and 6th Avenues. Tickets can be purchased on the basement level of building. Be sure to purchase your tickets in advance in order to make your way to the top by sunset (the entry system is timed). Also allot time for a security screening and wait times at the elevator.

Once you arrive at the observation deck take the escalator to the upper levels where your views won't be impeded by the glass windscreens. Tripods are not allowed (although monopods are allowed), but you can rest your camera on the stone barriers of the upper observation deck. Additionally you can use a table-top tripod for stability.

"Staff was great, breakfast was much better than expected, hotel room was small but had what we needed. The first night we noticed the heater didn’t work but didn’t report it since we didn’t use it. Hotel is just steps from Time Square but no loud noises once inside the room. Arrived 2 hours early to check in and we were offered another room with 2 beds instead of 1 king if we didn’t want to wait, which we took. Could leave our luggage after check out which was a super plus! Hotel in under renovation but no issues at all because of it. Overall nice experience and for sure will stay again."
