_TI***grFabulous!! Second visit for me after 30 years, but was as good and didn’t disappoint! Queues were quick as were the lifts and so many cool things to see and do on the way up. Interesting facts and information about the building and history. Great views even on a cloudy day!

iQOO🐮Upon first seeing the original "Starry Night" on the fifth floor of MoMA, Van Gogh's swirling eddies were more turbulent than I had imagined; I could almost hear the paint roaring across the canvas. Passing through the installation art area, I was engulfed by Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirror Room—millions of my own reflections floated and sank in points of light, instantly disorienting me. In the contemporary art gallery, Duchamp's urinal remained playfully placed, next to which lay apple cores left by visitors. Most movingly, in the rest area, I saw an elderly man with white hair copying Mondrian; his trembling brushstrokes held the lingering warmth of the 20th century.

好香好香女侠I happened to be there during NYC Must Week, so I got a 50% discount to go to the top floor. It wasn't crowded, no need to queue, and I just took the elevator to the 67th floor. The 67th floor is indoors, and the escalator leads up to the outdoor area. The view of the greater New York City skyline at night was absolutely breathtaking, both soothing and exhilarating.

54.8/5iQOO🐮Jogging along the long paths of Central Park, every step feels like stepping to the city's rhythm. A boy plays guitar by the Bethesda Fountain, the melody of "Imagine" flowing from the strings, blending wonderfully with the clatter of horse-drawn carriages. In front of the star-shaped mosaic at Strawberry Fields, someone always leaves behind a dew-kissed rose, the air filled with the scent of onion hot dogs and fresh grass. My favorite spot is the skating rink near Bow Bridge, watching beginners tumble and fall like snowballs, while the skyline silhouettes silently behind the treetops—in this steel jungle, there lies a heart-warming oasis.

D31***41Summit One Vanderbilt offers a one-of-a-kind perspective of New York City. Immersive, stunning, and thoughtfully designed an experience I’d happily pay for again.
74.5/5iQOO🐮Stepping into Times Square felt like entering a vibrant electronic jungle. Giant neon screens cascaded like waterfalls, Broadway signs gilded the night sky, and the air was filled with the aroma of roasted nuts and the beat of street performers. Watching the crowds flow from the TKTS steps—clowns high-fived gentlemen in suits, brides in wedding dresses ran wildly holding "Just Married" signs—all the absurdity seemed reasonable here. The only regret was that the electronic screens were too bright to see the stars overhead. But when the New Year's Eve ball test lights suddenly illuminated, and thousands of flashes went off like fireflies, it dawned on me: this artificial aurora was, in fact, a love letter from New Yorkers to modern civilization.

Svetlana De BonoStunning view, breathtaking experience. I can look at it forever 🤩🤩🤩
94.7/5iQOO🐮Standing at the foot of One World Trade Center, looking up, the crystalline glass facade pierced the clouds, and my eardrums throbbed slightly as the elevator ascended. Looking down from the 102nd-floor observation deck, Manhattan unfolded like a miniature model beneath my feet—the greenery of Central Park embedded in the steel mesh, the Statue of Liberty holding a tiny torch. Touching the old steel beams embedded in the glass walls, the cool metal reflected the silhouettes of tourists taking photos with their phones. Most touching was the discovery of a hidden secret in the observation deck floor: beneath a pane of glass lay peach wood branches from the 2001 ruins, their new buds quietly overlapping with the skyline in the sunlight.
One World Observatory7.6
104.7/5iQOO🐮Strolling across the Brooklyn Bridge, the cable-stayed bridge stretched out like golden strings in the sunset, the Manhattan skyline resembling a phantom of stacked blocks. The wooden planks of the bridge trembled slightly with each step, as if one could still hear the wheels of horse-drawn carriages from 1883. A young man on a bicycle brushed past, the jazz music leaking from his headphones creating a wonderful duet with the distant ferry whistles. My favorite spot was in the shadow of the bridge's stone towers, where the granite still bore the iris patterns carved by the workers—and now, lovers were fastening their love locks in the same spot. As the lights on the opposite bank began to twinkle, and the graffiti walls of the DUMBO district behind me faded into the twilight, I suddenly understood why Woody Allen called this place "New York's sigh."
