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.

„I was really very positive impressed not only by my visit in Washington D.C. Per staying in Yotel it was the same possible to enjoy the atmosphere of the capital city: very nice, friendly and helpful hotel crew, totally impressing area + short distance to the part of the city with museums and all historical buildings and of course the memories - they will live very long time. Thanx, Yotel! “

Mid-Atlantic: Top-Hotelbewertungen

Pod Times Square

10/10 Hervorragend

"Die Lage ist fantastisch nur 10 min weg vom Time Square. Man kann vieles vom Hotel aus zu Fuß erreichen. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber, etwas klein aber wir sind super zurecht gekommen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Check Inn/ Check out war schnell und unkompliziert. Es gibt einen kleinen tollen Supermarkt um die Ecke. Der Busbahnhof und der Subway sind gleich in der Nähe. Wir würden das Hotel jederzeit wieder buchen."
