Visit both the 86th and 102nd floor observation decks

The Empire State Building Observatory is divided into the 86th and 102nd floors. The 86th floor Observatory is the Main Deck, and the 102nd floor Observatory is the Top Deck. The 86th floor Main Deck is a rooftop, so you can enjoy the cool breeze and the New York skyline in an open space, and the 102nd floor Top Deck offers the most thrilling view in New York. Visit both the 86th and 102nd floor Observatories, which each have their own unique charms.

Because New York City's day and night each have their own charms, I recommend making reservations at different times and visiting multiple times.
