I have seen so many videos about observation decks, but this video is the best. It included everything I need, from the
Worst to the best. It short, clearly, and well-organized with awesome inspiring words and voice
Thank you 👍👍👍
Glad we could help! And thank you so much for the compliment. 😁
Great video. Thanks !
You’re very welcome. Glad you enjoyed 😁
Great info and editing on this video! There are a lot talking about the different decks but this really is one of the better ones on the subject. Im going there next week and planning on the Edge during the day and possibly top of the rock at night. Thank u!
Thank you! Both great choices and experiences. Welcome to New York :)
Loved the format of this video, very informative. Thank you.
Thanks! It took awhile to do this one 😁 glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for this comaprison. Travelling to NYC in February 2024 and doing some research.
No problem! Glad we could help, and have fun when you come!
Based on your video, I will visit both Top of the Rock and Summit One Vanderbilt. THANK YOU!
Both excellent choices! You're very welcome. Have fun at both!
I would have to say the South Tower of the original Twin Towers is still the best as it had the highest outdoor observation deck out of any of the observation decks in New York today. But of the five that exist today, I would have to go with One World Trade Center & The Edge as my favorites.
Never got to do that … unfortunately 😞. The ones today are all pretty great at the end of the day though
@@MagellanandGreyhound Same here, I missed out too but from what i've seen on UA-cam, it looks beautiful. However the current observation decks all look great. The Edge really looks exciting and one world with it's cinematic elevator.
This is a very informative video. I have an upcoming trip to NY next month and have trouble deciding on which observation deck, since I don't wanna waste too much money. This saves me a lot of research hour. Thank you.
You’re very welcome. That was the idea. Which one (or two or three 😆) did you decide on?
@@MagellanandGreyhound Summit One Vanderbylt 1st. And Top of the Rock 2nd (maybe).
@@mhdluqman those are our top 2 personally. Hope you enjoy!
Great video❤
Thank you!
The summit 1 during the night and top of the rock during the day 👍🏽💯
That is an excellent plan! And some pizza in between! 😉
Which NYC observation deck is your favorite?
Well, a date ain't in my future...lol But I do enjoy a great view! Yup, looks like Top of the Rock should be added to my "to do" list. Some pretty good coverage there! Bruce and Otis
In terms of pure decks, it’s definitely the best
Fantastic 🙂🙂
Thank you 😁
We LOVED One World Observatory. The kid wanted to be there BECAUSE it was that particular spot, and its meaning.
But totally agreed on the best for family and for a date night. Would definitely take AnonyMommy there. You've GOT to see the Empire State Building to have the best view.
Did you go the 911 museum while there? That is heart wrenching
@@MagellanandGreyhound We didn't, as we were squeezing in a LOT of Manhattan in one day. We plan to go back to it.
I’m going to Summit One if only I’m able to book a spot in and afford it. Feels like the coolest spot and some novelty experience.
I hope you go! It’s definitely an observation deck AND an experience. So much fun.
As we do Yankees & Mets artwork, we watch this vid.
The one we've done so far is the One World Observatory. AMAZING at night.
Not having been to the others, I think I'd pick Top of the Rock between them, though. I feel like I'd WANT a view of the Empire State Building as part of my view, not looking from the top of it.
Agreed on the best date one. Would definitely want to take AnonyMommy there.
I’ve been to One World at sunset. None are these decks are bad lol. And yes in terms of pure decks, Top of the Rock is our favorite, even if Summit One is just so much fun.
@@MagellanandGreyhound It's like comparing world class sports cars. They're all awesome. One is overall better than others, but they all rock.
For someone who had visited the decks at ESB and then at TOTR, is Summit One Vanderbilt worth paying for and visiting, next?
Absolutely. That is a really fun one. No offense to Edge or One World, but of those remaining three, definitely do Summit next.
Thanks for replying,@@MagellanandGreyhound ! Can't wait to come back this spring!
Top of the Rock is the best elevator because the lights up the shaft are so mesmerizing I don’t see why it gets so much hate
No hate here haha. They're all pretty great. We're just splitting hairs here since we're just trying to show people what to expect but also have our opinion too. I know people who don't care for One World's elevator reveal. Hard to go wrong with any of the decks. Just can't do them all in a day, and no need to do them all either 😀
I want to do summit one but the website says the glass elevator is unavailable… anyone know why?
No idea. Have they stated why? I see no posts from them. Apparently there was an elevator issue last year. Hope they open it soon for you.
Went to Top of the Rock deck for a clear evening view in 2012. Considering some of the other observation decks didn't exist during my only visit; (One World Trade was being constructed and One Vanderbilt wasn't even on the drawingboards) glad to here it's still one of the best. You feel like youre really among those skyscrapers!
That's a great way of putting it. Even with all the new decks, Top of the Rock is the only one that you feel like you're with the skyscrapers. Empire sometimes feels like you're trapped in a viewing cage.
