  Stunning views, yes, but it's packed to the point you cannot move. Queues to get in, queues to get out, want to get a cool photo of arguably the best view of the world's most famous skyline? Prepare to get the back of peoples heads in shot as you'll be 3-4 deep to the edge of the view. Then add every opportunity to sell you something as you pass through. Basically, beautiful views, far too busy.

  It is beautiful here. Reminds me of a certain whimsy that I miss from days gone by. The tree lighting is magical every year. Wish my parents could still make the trek but most of the locals seem helpful and the door men in the area are stellar too and helpful. Definitely crowded for the tree lighting, more organization is needed. Cheers to 2020 and beyond.
