The Best Views in NYC

New York City, a sprawling metropolis teeming with iconic skyscrapers, lush parks, and historic landmarks, offers some of the most breathtaking views in the world. Whether you're a lifelong resident or just visiting, the city's skyline provides a dramatic backdrop that never fails to amaze. Among the plethora of vantage points, certain locations stand out for offering the most stunning panoramas of the Big Apple.

Empire State Building

First on the list is the Empire State Building. This historical skyscraper not only defines the New York City skyline but also offers views so expansive that you can see up to 80 miles away on a clear day, encompassing New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.

Top of the Rock

Next, the Top of the Rock, located at the peak of the Rockefeller Plaza, provides a unique perspective by offering a clear sightline of the Empire State Building itself, juxtaposed against Central Park's verdant expanse to the north.

One World Observatory

One World Observatory stands as a tribute to resilience and ambition. Positioned at the top of the One World Trade Center, the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, the Observatory offers awe-inspiring views of Manhattan and its surrounding waters. Interactive exhibits enhance the experience, making it both educational and emotional.

The Vessel

Not to be missed, The Vessel at Hudson Yards is more than just an architectural marvel; its honeycomb-like structure houses numerous staircases and platforms that provide unique views of the Hudson River and the surrounding cityscape.

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt SUMMIT One Vanderbilt merges art and architecture to reshape New York's viewing experience. Its mirrored installation not only reflects the city back to the onlooker but also skywards, creating the sensation of being suspended in the skyline. You’ll also find a unique immersive art piece high atop the skyscraper.

Edge at Hudson Yards

Lastly, Edge at Hudson Yards claims the title of the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere. Its glass floor, angled glass walls, and outdoor stairs offer an exhilarating perspective of the city that you won’t find anywhere else in the Big Apple.

Each of these destinations captures the essence of New York City from a unique vantage point, offering both locals and tourists alike a chance to see the city in a new and breathtaking light.

Weekend inNewYork

PhotoCredits:CourtesyQCNYSpa

A winter weekend in the city offers a more intimate nuance, as the biting chill thins the usual crowds and shifts the focus toward the warm, glowing interiors of its architectural landscape. Here are some of our favorite spots to dine, experience, and stay for a winter weekend in the Big Apple.

Debuting at The Benjamin Royal Sonesta Hotel, The Parliament is a sophisticated new dining destination on Lexington Avenue that marks the final phase of the property’s extensive $25 million renovation. Led by Executive Chef Rakmin Lee, the restaurant offers an elevated take on modern American cuisine throughout the day, transitioning from hearty breakfast staples and efficient business lunches to an intimate evening setting featuring refined small plates and entrees. The interior, crafted by //3877, pays tribute to the building’s historic Emery Roth architecture with a timeless blend of dark wood, brass, and stone accents. Whether stopping in for a truffled Croque Madame or a signature sundae finished tableside, guests will find a versatile Midtown hub that balances upscale flair with approachable New York character.

Nestled in the heart of Greenwich Village, Olio e Più is a charming, authentic Italian trattoria that brings the rustic elegance of a Mediterranean escape to the streets of Manhattan. The restaurant is celebrated for its lush, flowerfilled facade and open-air dining concept, creating a lively yet intimate atmosphere that embodies the spirit of la dolce vita. Inside, the vintage-inspired decor and warm wood accents provide a cozy backdrop for a menu focused on hand-stretched Neapolitan pizzas and artisanal house-made pastas. Whether you’re stopping in for a vibrant weekend brunch or a candlelit dinner accompanied by a selection from their curated Italian wine list.

Gitano NYC offers a transportive, tropical escape situated on the waterfront at Pier 17, blending the bohemian flair of Tulum with the dramatic backdrop of the Brooklyn Bridge. This massive, 14,000-square-foot destination features a “bohemian-opulent” design, characterized by lush jungle greenery, rose-gold chandeliers, and a colonial-style fountain. Guests can enjoy a sophisticated modern Mexican menu and signature mezcal cocktails within a glamorous dining room or on the breezy waterfront terrace. As the evening progresses, the space transitions into a high-energy club atmosphere, complete with a dedicated dance lounge, making it a premier year-round sanctuary for those seeking a stylish, vacation-like experience in the heart of the city.

rs a breathtaking, multi-sensory journey that combines a museum-style exploration of New York City’s cultural history with a world-class flying theater. The experience begins with a walk through immersive galleries dedicated to the city’s massive influence on global fashion, music, and film, featuring authentic artifacts and multimedia storytelling. The centerpiece, however, is a state-of-the-art simulation flight in which guests are suspended 30 feet in the air, soaring over the five boroughs.

Located just a five-minute ferry ride from the bustle of Lower Manhattan, QC NY Spa on Governors Island transports guests to a serene sanctuary of Italian-style wellness. This lush retreat offers a sophisticated alternative to traditional holiday crowds, providing a restorative escape for those looking to celebrate Valentine’s Day or unwind over Presidents’ Day weekend. The experience centers on “wellness with a view,” where outdoor heated pools allow you to soak while gazing at the iconic skyline. For an evening getaway, the spa offers five-hour sunset experiences starting at $98.

While the charming wooden kiosks of the holiday market have packed up for the season, Bryant Park remains a premier winter destination that trades shopping bustle for a more serene, “metropolitan backyard” atmosphere. The park’s centerpiece remains the massive, free-admission ice-skating rink, where locals and visitors alike can glide beneath the gaze of the towering American Radiator Building. For those seeking a unique twist on winter recreation, the park offers cozy curling lanes and “bumper cars on ice,” providing a high-energy alternative to traditional skating.

Romer Hell’s Kitchen serves as an authentic neighborhood retreat just west of the Broadway lights, offering a sophisticated alternative to the typical Midtown bustle. Designed to feel like a “local legend’s living room,” the hotel captures the eclectic spirit of its surroundings through thoughtfully curated spaces, including a welcoming all-day café for morning essentials and So & So’s, a plush evening piano bar and restaurant tucked away for supper-club-style dining

Widely regarded as a pinnacle of Upper East Side glamour, The Mark Hotel blends historic architectural grandeur with a bold, contemporary aesthetic envisioned by designer Jacques Grange. This premier destination is celebrated for its chic atmosphere, notably its iconic black-and-white striped marble lobby, and for culinary excellence spearheaded by Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Guests are also treated to an array of high-end, whimsical amenities you won’t soon forget.

Elevated above the historic Meatpacking District, The Standard, High Line is an architectural landmark that straddles the iconic elevated park with a bold, retro-modern design. Every guest room features expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, offering sweeping, unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline and the Hudson River. The hotel is a vibrant social hub, housing a diverse range of venues, from the high-energy rooftop discothèque Le Bain to a bustling ground-level German beer garden to the classic New American fare of The Standard Grill.

Broadway Guide Insider:

Some of the city’s notable locals are also the stars of Broadway. We talked with Chris Lanceley who stars as Chris Bean in The Play That Goes Wrong about the show and his best local NYC tips.

gets a front row seat as his play slowly deteriorates in front of his eyes! The show is a comedy from the audience’s perspective, but for poor Chris Bean, it’s one of the worst days of his life!

How did you get your start in performing, and in what other shows have you performed?

Lanceley- I started in a school play when I was about 10 years old. I asked the teachers for as few lines as possible because I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy it, but the

opposite ended up being true! After that, I did as many shows as I could, including school plays, community theatre, and performances with the National Youth Theatre in the UK, where I grew up. Eventually, I moved to NYC to study at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Shortly after I graduated, I made my Off-Broadway debut in The Bad and The Better at Playwrights Horizons; the next show after that was The Play That Goes Wrong. I’ve been with the show for 7 years now, both here in NYC and on the National Tour.

How would you describe your show to someone completely unfamiliar with Broadway?

Lanceley- At its core, it’s a love letter to theatre. It’s a play within a play that follows an amateur dramatics production of a 1920s murder mystery! Hopes for the show are high at the beginning, but the audience watches as props go missing, lines are dropped, actors are swapped out, and disaster after disaster strikes as the cast fights to finish the show. It’s a true slapstick comedy that anyone with even the remotest experience with theatre can relate to.

What was the one NYC lesson you learned shortly after arriving in the Big Apple?

Lanceley- I learned to be direct! Being British, I like to add a lot of apologies and qualifying language to what I’m saying. I learned quite early that people don’t have time for that here. Say what you need to say in as few words as possible!

What are the best tips you can give a visitor?

Lanceley- If you need to check Google Maps or look at a building, you must “pull over” to the building or a lamp post. Stopping dead in the middle of the sidewalk is the local equivalent of slamming on your brakes on the expressway!

Romance in the City

New York City has a reputation for fast pace and bright lights, but beneath the bustle is a deeply romantic side. From quiet gardens tucked behind historic gates to skyline views that feel straight out of a movie, the city offers endless opportunities for unforgettable moments. Whether you are planning a proposal, a dreamy date night, or a meaningful stroll, these are some of the most romantic spots in New York City.

Few places in the world rival the romance of Central Park. While the park itself is iconic, certain areas feel especially intimate. The sweeping curves of Bow Bridge make it one of the most photographed and beloved romantic landmarks in the city. With views of the skyline reflected in the water and rowboats drifting by, it is a classic setting for engagements and quiet conversations. Tucked away on the park’s northern edge, The Conservatory Garden feels like a secret escape. Formal hedges, seasonal blooms, and fountain-lined paths create a peaceful atmosphere that feels miles away from Midtown.

New York’s romance often shines brightest along the water, where city lights shimmer and time seems to slow. The Brooklyn Heights Promenade offers one of the most cinematic views of Manhattan.

Walking hand in hand as the sun sets behind the skyline is a simple but unforgettable experience. Hidden beneath the Manhattan Bridge, Pebble Beach is a quiet riverside spot with postcard-worthy views. The gentle sound of the water and the glow of the bridge lights make it especially magical at dusk.

For couples who love classic New York elegance, these timeless locations deliver. The front steps of The Metropolitan Museum of Art are a favorite place to linger, people-watch, and soak in the city’s grandeur. It is an effortlessly romantic pause between a museum visit and a stroll along the city’s iconic Fifth Avenue. There is also something undeniably romantic about Grand Central Terminal Beneath the celestial ceiling, whispered conversations feel cinematic, especially near the famous Whispering Gallery, where voices carry in the most unexpected ways.

Sometimes romance is about rising above the city or discovering a hidden oasis. Floating above Manhattan’s West Side, The High Line blends art, nature, and city views. Sunset walks here feel intimate, especially along quieter stretches overlooking the Hudson River. For couples who love dramatic views, Top of the Rock offers sweeping panoramas, including the Empire State Building. It is a powerful spot for proposals and milestone moments.

Romance in New York is often found in its neighborhoods, where charm and character shine. The tree-lined streets of the West Village feel intimate and timeless. Brownstones, corner cafés, and softly lit sidewalks make evening walks here feel effortlessly romantic. At the heart of Greenwich Village, Washington Square Park buzzes with life while still offering moments of quiet connection. The arch, the fountain, and the surrounding energy create a uniquely New York love story backdrop.
