Fantastic review of these two attractions in NYC.

This is a great comparison video. Great use of stock footage, I have been doing that more to tell the story. Also been experimenting with AI generated elements. In my opinion, Top of The Rock was the best view since it was a complete unobstructed view.

Loved the format of this video and would be repeatable format for other vs. videos. When we go we usually use CityPass.

Both of these are in my NYC bucket list. I love that Top of the Rock has the unobstructed view and the beam re-creation photo op. But Empire State Building’s museum would be fascinating to me as well. Thanks for sharing this comparison with us!

Empire State is more iconic, but the unobstructed views of the Rockenfeller win it for me!

Great video, thank you! I wonder if in spring when NYC is busier, when would be the best time to avoid lines at Empire State?

This was a silly video. Incomplete experience at ESB. Plus understatement about the lines there. Top of the Rock is better value and view of Manhattan.
