There's a certain peace above the city, and TOP OF Empire Observation Deck was conceived with the express purpose of keeping that peace uninterrupted. .

The view itself is unique and astonishing. Unobstructed for 360 degrees the breathtaking landscape stretches for miles in every direction. It includes a panorama of Central Park and the northern half of Manhattan that cannot be found anywhere else. New York's other landmarks are visible as well, including the Chrysler Building, Times Square, the Hudson River, the East River, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Statue of Liberty. It is, quite simply, the most spectacular view in New York City.
