📸【A must-see in New York! The Ultimate Guide to the Empire State Building Observatory | With Hidden Camera]

#2月好地方2025 ✨As the same landmark as "King Kong", the sunset + night view of the Empire State Building is definitely worth the price of your ticket! Here is a nanny-level strategy that I have personally tested. I recommend saving it~ ⏰ Best time: Admission is at 6:45 pm in the summer (5:30 pm in the winter)! You can not only wait to see the sunset 🌇, but also seamlessly connect to the starry night view 🌃, and the ticket price is $10 cheaper than after 19:00! **🎫Ticket Purchase Guide:** 1. Go straight to TB and buy [86th floor + 102nd floor combined ticket] + $30 fast track, saving 3 hours of queuing! 2. On-site tickets require an additional $5 handling fee, and tickets for popular time periods are sold out in seconds! **📸 Must-visit camera positions:** ✅ **86th floor outdoor terrace** (iron railings + warm light) → 360° shot of Manhattan trio (Statue of Liberty/Brooklyn Bridge/Central Park) without any blind spots! ✅ **Indoor terrace on the 102nd floor** (panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows) → Use flash + glass reflection to create a "floating city" movie! **⚠️ Hidden gameplay:** 1. The entrance is at 34th Street 20W, don’t go to 5th Avenue! 2. Tripods/water cups are not allowed through security check, but Polaroid cameras are allowed! 3. Get a free **official commemorative certificate** at the 80th floor "New York City Exhibition Hall"! 4. Bring a hot pack in winter! The wind on the 86th floor was so strong that I couldn't hold my phone steady... **🌭️Nearby food:** After shopping, I went straight to the "Tacombi Mexican Restaurant" next door to eat tacos, and then turned into "Korea Town" to buy milk tea. Perfect! **✨ Easter Eggs:** Look up when the elevator rises → the starry sky is so romantic! **#NewYorkTravel #EmpireStateBuildingStrategy #NewYorkPhotography #KingKingSameStyleCamera #CityNightViewCeiling**
