For a long time, you could only go as high as the 86th floor observatory at the Empire State Building, but now, you can head even higher, up to the 102nd Floor observatory. While the 102nd floor observatory isn't open air, the way the 86th floor is, being 16 stories further up and giving you a great view of New York City. You will be able to see all the bridges of New York City and the Central Park. Because the area is glassed in, you'll get better pictures from the 86th Floor, but the view is extraordinary!
Arrive at 7:00 am to see the Today Show (America's favorite morning show) live.

Grand Central Station has a romantic secret: An unmarked archway, located in front of the Oyster Bar & Restaurant, possesses a mystifying acoustic property: when two people stand at diagonal arches and whisper, they can hear each other's voices.
