First thing this morning we went up to the observation deck on the 70th floor of the Rockefeller Centre. Last time we went up to a Manhattan skyscraper's viewing deck was in May 2001 when we went to the top of the World Trade Centre.
It's not as high as Empire State but there is one thing you can see which you can't see from the Empire State lookout:
After a tour of Chelsea Market in the old meatpacking area, which included lots of tastes and small meals at a variety of food outlets and restaurants, we took the boat ride around lower Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

Liberty Island and Ellis Island are still being repaired after Hurricane Sandy and can't be visited. |

After a final dinner with Stage and Johana and Johana's Dad downtown we drove around lower Manhattan and then went back up to the Rockefeller observation deck to see New York by night.
