But for me the Empire State had such a long line that by the time we got to the top it felt a bit anti-climactic. But like you I still enjoyed both!

Whilst it was great being able to see the Empire State from Top of the Rock, we found the overall experience at the ES to be much better. The view from the top was the icing on the cake of a journey through history. Top of the Rock just felt a bit rushed in-up-down. But still enjoyed both.

I'm glad that you said the line moved fast because my first thought about going up twice was "what about the line?" When we were in NYC, we went up just before sunset so that we could see late day, sunset and then dark. Of course, we had to stay up there a while to see it fully transition, and my kids were getting a bit antsy.Michele {Malaysian Meanders}https://www.blogger.com/profile/18313351463568423694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7236483471506976307.post-12916378577950256622017-05-15T11:25:29.472-07:002017-05-15T11:25:29.472-07:00Thanks Rhonda!
