Downstate New York Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Vessel is a structure and landmark which was built as part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project in Manhattan, New York City. It is free to visit it, but you have to book your visit in advance since there is no ticket booth at the site. Entrance is managed by hours but you can also buy a $10 flex ticked that will allow you to visit the structure any hour the day you have selected. The Vessel is near to the High Line, Chelsea Market, Times Square, and other important landmarks, so expect crowds. #NYC #Travel #Vessel #Trovember

30 Rockefeller Plaza is an Art Deco skyscraper in the middle of Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan. At 850 feet (260 m) high, the 70-story building is the 14th tallest in New York City and is a great place for capturing views at sunset (especially because it offers views of the Empire State Building). To get this shot, head to the top of Rockefeller Center, known as "Top of the Rock." The entrance is on W 50th St between 5th and 6th Avenues. Tickets can be purchased on the basement level of building. Be sure to purchase your tickets in advance in order to make your way to the top by sunset (the entry system is timed). Also allot time for a security screening and wait times at the elevator. Once you arrive at the observation deck take the escalator to the upper levels where your views won't be impeded by the glass windscreens. Tripods are not allowed (although monopods are allowed), but you can rest your camera on the stone barriers of the upper observation deck. Additionally you can use a table-top tripod for stability. #StunningStructures #UrbanJungle
