The best spot to get a picture of Manhattan in the top of the building where the Empire States building seems in the background.

Nice plaza, don’t miss out on a pic of the famous sculpture.

A plaza with many purposes 🎭

Ice skating is expensive, about $35. Make sure you walk around and look at all the different flags!

If your tourist family members force your attendance, make it tolerable by purchasing the HOUSE bouncy ball--the best $9 you can spend in an NYC tourist location

Keep in mind that nearby St. Patrick's usually closes at 8 pm and that a walk to Central Park really isn't that far if you like to walk!
