Capturing the glorious darkness that blankets New York City.
Your ways to bask in the cool breeze and dimming lights as darkness creeps over the city and the cacophonies
dial down.
Starry Sky from One World Observatory
The deck offers a kaleidoscopic view of the five boroughs of Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island, and the Atlantic Ocean, ever so calm at night. At 1,300 feet in the air, the view from the top is surreal and epitomizes the city's splendor that dazzles the most at night. The elevator skyrockets to the 102nd floor of One World Trade Center, and you see vistas of glass buildings in the dance, some well lit, some bathed in darkness, while others flicker.
The surrounding area has a plethora of dining destinations, boutiques, and shops to explore the history of the World Trade Centre and the Observatory. The observatory is also referred to as the Freedom Tower, and the building on which it is perched pays homage to the original twin towers.
Nightlife from the Empire State Building
The 86th-floor observatory glimpses might sound a tad bit down to earth, especially when compared to One World, yet the charisma of the State Building is in its nostalgia and old-world aura. It is a mindboggling 360-degree view of the six states: Delaware, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
The skyscraper is designed in Art Deco, which further accentuates the experience of seeing the sun shine over the city that never sleeps. The hues and silhouettes change, almost magically. Besides the dusk-to-dawn views, the other big, fascinating appeal is the 80th-floor exhibits that capture the defining moments of the building.
Climb to the Edge
Located close to 34th Street, Edge brings to you an undeniably the most aesthetic picture of the urban jungle. Edge is located at the highest point in the Western Hemisphere, 30 Hudson Yards.
Since it is suspended mid-air, you can stop the feeling of floating in the emptiness. Edge offers the most gorgeous view of Manhattan, sprawling 360 degrees, and from the deck, you can easily identify iconic landmarks like Ellis Island, Freedom Tower, and the Statue of Liberty.
Dazzling Sunset above East River
Let not the poetic charm of the Lower Manhattan skyline be lost on you. The sky metamorphoses into enigmatic shades as the sun traverses, and the brilliance of this view should be best experienced in person first.
Be it taking a stroll in the Brooklyn Heights Promenade or the Brooklyn Bridge, the area around the East River waterfront is all about soaking in the beautiful lights glimmering below the blues and greys of the New York sky.
