A great gift to skyscraper lovers has reopened - the deck at the
top of Rockefeller Plaza. Closed since the 80's, it has returned as
what will no doubt be one of New York's "do not miss"
attractions. Everyone who visits the city should make it a priority,
but until then, here are some pics taken earlier today...
NOVEMBER 1, 2005
We began in a glass-roofed elevator, a hint of the spectacle to come...
1.
A glimpse of what awaits outdoors...
2.
The view of Central Park...
3.
It's the motherland of the skyscraper, so should we expect any less?...
4.
Somehow, I just can't get King Kong out of my mind when I see this view...
5.
6.
7.
It's a view that will eventually be dominated by the BofA tower...
8.
Perfect spot for a lunch break...
9.
Some of the new additions to the city's skyline...

The GM, two Trumps, IBM, Sony (ATT), and the Bloomberg...what more
could you want?...
14.
Meet me on the roof...

18.
The reviews are in, and they are great!
19.
I call this one "old lady and a skyscraper"...
20.
Even mayor Bloomberg stopped by for the opening...(he also happened
to return at night - along with the Bloomberg/Ferrer armies waiting
on the street. What a day for an opening...)
21.
22.
I could hear the speeches at the mayor's press conference, but who
cares about speeches with the Citicorp looking so fine?...
23.
That's it for the day pics...
