The Empire State Building and the new building of the GE Electric Company are fighting for the title of the best viewing platforms of New York, which is often called the " 30 Rock. The nickname is associated with his address: Rockefeller Center, 30, Midtown in Manhattan. In the skyscraper are two viewing platforms, a Rainbow room on the 65th floor (similar to the deck of an ocean liner), and Top of the Rock at 70. The highlight of the view from there is that tourists can see the city and its tallest building, the Empire State -Bilding.

Observations of the Empire State Building skyscraper are located on 86 and the last, 102, floor. The first one has a fantastic viewing angle of 360 degrees. The second can not boast of this, and it is much smaller in size. Some days the top of them can be closed by the administration due to the high tourist traffic.

The spectacular panorama opens from the pedestal or crown of the Statue of Liberty, with the American International Building (66th floor), Woolworth Building (58th floor) and some other skyscrapers.
