Stretching into the sky at 120 stories high, the Empire State Building was once the tallest building in the entire world. Not for the faint of heart, its observation deck provides a bird’s-eye view of NYC. Dodge the crowds by visiting between 8 and 11 am and snap some photos uninterrupted, with the Big Apple as your backdrop.

I will recommend the Top of the Rock for the view of the city's day skyline - you'll be able to get a picture of the Empire State Building from here

My best suggestion is to do the Empire State Building at night
If you want to avoid the crowds then I suggest going very early or late. My best suggestion is to do the Empire State Building at night. I went at 11.30 and didn't wait in line at all!! It's also open til 2am.

This meant we didn't waste half our day queueing for an attraction (queues for Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building were horrendous and did not offer the option to book a time)
Check if you can book in advance. The best thing we found was booking a time slot early in the day (at Rockefella and 9/11 Memorial) and returning later in the day after experiencing places where you didn't have to queue (Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge). This meant we didn't waste half our day queueing for an attraction (queues for Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building were horrendous and did not offer the option to book a time).

We went to the 'Top Of The Rock' (Rockerfeller center) which gave an outstanding view, the main view was of the Empire State building but you could see for miles

Empire State Building: Guests Love These Nearby Hotels
“The hotel is super close to everything, which made it fantastic. It was about a 10 minute walk from Penn Station, Broadway, and about 15 minutes to Times Square. We didn't have to use the subway or a taxi once. Felix and Ashley were extremely nice and helpful, they seemed to be genuinely happy working at the hotel. The rooms are big by NYC standards, my boyfriend and I were very comfortable in the bed and slept like babies. The rooftop is a great feature as well! It gives you a great view of the Empire State Building and the Hudson.”
“Beds were comfortable, room was nice, everything worked. Beautiful view of the skyline. The actual room is highly recommended. We stayed on the 37th floor and had great sunset views of The Empire State Building and Chrysler Building. Also, the hotel. Is just a 10 minute walk from Grand Central Station.”
“The location of this hotel is excellent. It is located right on Korea Way - which meant restaurants, supermarkets and entertainment were right at your doorstep. The subway is located right down the block which made it very accessible and convenient to get around. Macy's, Herald Square, Empire State Building and Time Square are all located within walking distance. The room were clean, cozy and very affordable for its convenience and location. This hotel also offers complimentary breakfast which is a bonus.”
“It is worth spending a few dollars more for a room with a city view. Ours was on the 24th floor and we never got tired of the view over the Empire State Building in daylight as well as by night.
People at reception were very helpful and the breakfast was scrumptious.
We will certainly come back and I sincerely recommend this hotel.”
“The room was nice and the location of the hotel was great. You could walk to a lot of worthwhile places in the area from Times Square, to the Empire State Building, and to Central Park in no time at all. Vallet costs 50$ a night, so keep that in mind.”
