We freshened up and changed our clothes to head to Rockefeller Center to visit the "Top Of The Rock." We visited the Empire State Building on our first visit - which was amazing. We plan to visit the One World Observatory one day. But this visit, we went to the top of 30 Rock.
And it did not disappoint. The view was amazing.
We were up there while the sun was starting to set and the entire city was glowing.
We walked a few blocks (past Radio City) to get to 30 Rock...

Once we got inside the building, we first visited a small "museum" of 30 Rock's history...

Then we got into an elevator that took us up 70 floors. Once you get up to the top (the observation deck), there are two more levels you can climb up stairs to get to.
First level of the observation deck on the Central Park view/side...
Central Park side...
Empire State side (the sun was really starting to set)...
A few more sun going down shots as we started to head out...
I wish we could have stayed a bit longer until the sun went completely down, but we had dinner reservations.
The elevator ride down...
It was time to head to Del Frisco's Grille - which is right in Rockefeller Center.
My birthday girl...
The food was really, really good...
Bri had a crab cake appetizer, and Doug and I split deviled eggs and a wedge salad. Bri had the chicken sandwich, Doug had a bone-in rib eye and I went with a filet. Doug and I also split a potato pancake for a side. Bri had a chocolate ganache cake and I went with coconut cream pie (which was more like a tart in my opinion!). It was all so good!
We finished up and were very tired after a long day.
Walking back to the hotel and the night view from our room...
What a full day!
We had tickets for Beetlejuice the Musical the next evening, so we decided to take things a bit slower during the day on Sunday.
More on that next...
