Rockefeller Center

Description: New York

Newest Review: ... couldn't ice skate myself (pregnant and clumsy, not a good mix!) but we have a great time watching everyone else. We then went to Top of the Rock, which is a 3-tiered observation deck on the 67th, 69th, and 70th floors of the Rockefeller Centre. It cost $18 dollars each and was worth every cent!
