Wondering what the BEST view in Manhattan is? 🇺 Wondering what the BEST view in Manhattan is? 🇺🇸

While there are a lot of options when it comes to viewpoints in New York City, one of the best options is easily @rockefellercenter 🤩

From the @topoftherocknyc you get an incredible view of the Empire State Building and the rest of Manhatten, including Central Park 💪🏼

I’d recommend booking the earliest timeslot available so you can beat the crowds, especially in the summertime 🙌🏼
