Then we took a walk to the Rockefeller Center. The part of Rockefeller Center where you buy tickets to the top of the Rock was overheated. I found this true of many other venues (e.g., both museums, the Opera, the hotel).
The first image is Ann and our little panda (we bring a stuffed animal to our trips for company and to 'scale pictures' - there is also a stuffed animal blog). There is snow on the roof at the "Top of the Rock". As with most of the pictures on this blog, clicking on the image will enlarge it and sometimes clicking on it twice will enlarge it a lot.
The view is facing Northeast. The tall building is 432 Park Avenue which is the tallest apartment building in the Western Hemisphere (1300' occupied, 1400' if you count the tower on its top).
The observation deck of the Rockefeller Center is on the 66th and 67th floors. The image is from the 66th floor about 830' above ground.
In the image, the Empire State Building is in the middle, the Bank of America Tower on the right.
The guy who took this picture in 2012, Robert Strachan, put it on the internet with some other pictures at this site.
