- Aotearoa in AlbaGlasgow, UK87 contributionsJust as you would expect, except bigger! My only criticism would be the lack of public toilets. Central Park is just like the movies.Written September 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- georgina581County Galway, Ireland2 contributionsWe really enjoyed our visit to the Empire State Building ( well we enjoyed the building and views)
We got to go when it finally stopped raining so it was great to get a clear view of everything from the 86th floor.
The only negative was some staff members were unfriendly and unapproachable especially one particular gentleman situated at the entrance doorway ( in a grey suit ) .
He was so very rude to so many people in the line including us.
For such a treasured landmark there such be staff that makes it a pleasant, memorable experience.Written September 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

went north to south and had great views of parts of the city, with some great quirky stylish apartment blocks alongside (bought a couple as had some spare change). Good short walk, nice bit of recent history/ reclaimation, fab planting. On completion you can then walk back north through Chelsea district and see the Little Island and Chelsea marketWritten October 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My first one was before the sunset two years ago, and it was such an experience. The view from the top is wonderful and you’ll see Empire State Building illuminated, a sight to behold. Visited NYC again two weeks ago, this time during daytime and I’m still amazed. I recommend going up before sunset and still till night time and wait for the Empire State Building to light up, it’s a view you won’t experience anywhere else. I love NYC!!Written September 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Dimitris LSydney, Australia43,652 contributionsBroadway is full of life, day or night. It's a place to do as you wish as long as you know what you are doing! Shops and theatres and a lot of other things too. We took a stroll and loved the time we had.Written September 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Andrew T259 contributionsThis is totally worth doing on a nice day. It’s really enjoyable to walk across. The architecture spectacular. It’s very busy and it’s really odd to have so many vendors selling the same things. I mean there was probably about 50 vendor selling the exact same things. But the sides are great. Good for a picture. And its free!

It's a beautiful statue with so much history behind it.Written September 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dimitris LSydney, Australia43,652 contributionsThe city is perhaps unique in what it has to offer in terms of architecture and beauty. The skyline is spectacular. The amazing skyscrapers, the new and the old, each offers something different.Written September 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dimitris LSydney, Australia43,652 contributionsGrand Central Terminal is a vast place. The building is an architectural wonder. It's a major transport hub in the centre of the city. It's worth visiting just to admire the beautiful architecture.Written September 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrew T259 contributionsMy overall rating was 7.0/10. You definitely should go at night. It’s a spectacle to behold, with all of the giant signs lit up against the night sky. It’s an absolute zoo with people. If that makes you uncomfortable, definitely don’t go.Written September 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dimitris LSydney, Australia43,652 contributionsThe Staten Island Ferry is a free service! The ferry itself is huge, accommodating hundreds of passengers. You line up at the wharf, get on the ferry and enjoy the ride! On the way to Staten Island you enjoy the spectacular views of the harbour and the city, as well as of the amazing statue of Liberty, all for free! Once on Staten Island you must get off the ferry and either wander around the island or line up again to get back on to the ferry. It only takes a couple of minutes. And it's a lot of fun!Written September 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Dimitris LSydney, Australia43,652 contributionsBryant Park is a lovely green area in the middle of wild New York. As soon as you step in you feel transported to another, beautiful world. There is a French touch to it and the place is full of visitors enjoying their time. There are many seats to rest in and on the day we visited there was a huge chess competition!. There are cafes and other activities people can do. There is a lot of history in this park as well.Written September 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- harunSouthampton, UK246 contributionsIt was Wonderfull opportunity that you can see Central Park and Empire State Building and all points of Manhattan.

- Dimitris LSydney, Australia43,652 contributionsSt Patrick's is a large Cathedral and its Gothic architecture is awe-inspiring, as are most other cathedrals we have seen in Europe. It is a beautiful building and we were fortunate enough to go inside during mass. We only spent a few minutes inside but it was enough to appreciate the enormity and beauty of the place.Written October 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GeorgeLisburn, UK7 contributionsThe ride to the top (well almost the top!) is a great idea and works well! And the trip down likewise fantastic!
The “show” before entering the observatory is totally of no value!
Please be aware the view is through tinted glass and putting your camera against the glass only helps a little.
Views are of course impressive!
Be prepared for the sale pitch of a fake photo and special iPad - is it really necessary to make everyone filter through that??? There seems to be a love of “lining up”!!
Still it is a full 360 view!Written September 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
