Sightseeing
The Empire State is open until 2AM every day. I highly recommend going late at night since most people don't know it's open late and the lines are shorter. The city views at night are breath taking!

Top of the Rock may take a couple hours to reach, but it's worth the wait. Once you're up there you feel like you're on top of the world. Check out the center below for world class shopping. If it's Christmas time, strike out on the skating rink below the building for some serious fun.
