Ok so I live here, perhaps I'm a bit biased. I still firmly believe that NYC has one of the best skylines in the entire world, a skyline you should see during the day and at night. And don't be turned off by rain, as long as it's not sheeting down, you might get some great cloud views as the... More

Got a great view of the Manhattan Skyline on our nighttime landing approach to LaGuardia Airport (LGA) from the South. It was breathtaking - more spectacular than I imagined. Had never seen that angle/view before. Even saw fireworks going off around west side mid-town at 11:00 PM that Sunday night. Wish we could have circled for another view. :-D More

NY skyline is beautiful day or night. If you like old architecture, it's the place for you. Be careful walking & looking up, people & cars move really fast. More

I grew up in the 70's hearing how rotten New York City was. I never wanted to go. But when I finally tried it out, I fell in love. NYC just has a vibe to it unlike any other place I have visited. We try to get there once a year. The skyline is so iconic. More
