One World Observatory

At 1,776, One World Trade Center is the tallest building in the United States. Its observation deck 102 stories above the streets of Manhattan offers truly incredible views of New York. It’s substantially overpriced (starting at about $40 for an adult). Given the steep price, you’ll have to decide whether it’s worth it. The views are stunning, but if you don’t need to see the city from above, there are probably better ways to spend your money while you’re in town. For a unique dining experience, make a reservation at ONE DINE, the restaurant at the top of the tower (it’s pricey, too). Or just grab a drink from the bar an enjoy it as you soak in the stunning vistas.
