👍👍 Nice place to visit. They haven’t been allowing people to walk up yet, but still worth a visit. You can take some amazing pictures here from the core. No parking— come on foot. Bathrooms and food are located in the nearby Hudson Yards mall if needed. No entry fee needed. Lines move fast. Definitely...
