Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree

Here's the tree.

Top of the Rock view South

I was told there was a good view of the NYC skyline from the top of Rockefeller Center, aka "Top of the Rock." $25 gets you there. The line at 8:00 on a Friday night was not bad at all.

At the top there are three levels. On the first two levels there are tall glass panels to keep you safe, but they interfere with photography. Take the stairs to the very top for an unobstructed view.

For those of you afraid of heights, you can not see straight down like at the CN Tower in Toronto. Going at night might also suppress the feeling of being high, but that's just a guess.

9/11 Museum

The museum is still under construction between the North and South pools. Overheard someone say it would open in Spring 2012.

I never saw the World Trade Center towers when they stood. Today I'm visiting the site for the first time. Sobering.

You can see the new World Trade Center tower rising as you look north from Battery Park.
