Last time I went to the top it was The Empire State (back when The Twin Towers were still up). This time I was advised by a tour guide to go to the Rock - for a number of reasons. I took the advise and never regretted. This place offers the best of both - the plaza at the bottom... More

Beautiful place, must spend an hour or so and enjoy the serene surroundings.must film for sweet memories of place. Feel like visiting again and again.

A nice place to walk around, shop, and eat. Have not been to the top yet. It is still on the bucket list. Less touristy than around the Empire State Building but there is a lot to do here to keep you entertained for several hours. The plaza is a nice place to people watch and take photos. I love... More

The view from here is so much better than the Empire State Building but we would recommend doing both.The Rockerfeller Centre is overall the better out of the two both inside and out but you can't go to New York and not go up the Empire State Building.

The plaza is just beautiful and a great photo op. Lots of stores and you just may see a celebrity or two.

In my opinion the best view you can get of the Empire State building and Manhattan is from the top of the Rockerfeller Centre. Fewer people and tourists, calmer and quieter. And afterwards, when back at street level, I recommend eating at the Rock Center Cafe where you can watch people ice skating - both entertaining and mesmerizing.

I'd recommend if you visit the Rockafeller Centre and you haven't already been up the Empire State building to look at the view you go to the top of the rock observation deck. Otherwise it's a good place to stop and have a wander around. You can sit outside in the courtyard area by the flags or visit the restaurants,... More

On our recent trip to NYC we went on the Rockefeller Center Tour and Kim was our tour guide. He had so much knowledge of the buildings that are comprised of the tour and he had a great way of delivering it to us. My husband had taken the tour about 8 years before thought his guide was good until... More

As a native New Yorker, I have passed by and dined within the many offerings at Rockefeller center. One of the most interesting of the art offerings on the plaza outside of the NBC Building is called" Human Nature.". It is primitive,yet modern, consisting of huge abstract rock figures. It is a fun diversion in this mild weather to walk... More
