I stumbled against this wee gem by accident and really glad I did! Its at the Rockerfela centre the main entrance is 50th Street between 5th and 6th Avenue. Its open between 8am to midnight. To get up to the observatory deck you go up an elevator which goes whoosshh (it goes so fast it makes u ave butterflies)!
Once at the top you can c da same type of views as you do at the empire state building however in my opinion they are more breathtaking. The observatory is on the 70th floor, 850 feet up in the sky. You could c central park but as I went up at night this view wasnt as clear as what it would have been during the day. You can see for miles in every direction as there is 360degree panoramic views. You can see the northern half of manhattan that cannot be found anywhere else. Other landmarks to be seen are Times Square and the Chrysler Building. The views are unobstructed by clear glass which are abit scored and annoying for photos but there is small gaps you can take your photos through.
It was very cold (I went in March time) and I would definately advise you to wrap up warm as it can b very windy and snowy, hats and gloves are advised.I went up at night and it was so magical seeing the city glitter below me.
A bonus was that it wasnt busy at all so I didnt have to wait in queues and we had the platforms to ourselves which made the experience even better with uninterrupted views and no-one pushing into you. A bonus is that you can see the Empire State Building in the view which I feel made it more interesting. Also it was a cheaper option, tickets were $18 each. I definately would advise someone to go here!

Good review. Perhaps you could just add some stats like actual cost, and height. Have you got any pics to add?
I agree that it is better (and much nicer) than the ESB.
We went in March too - the week it dropped to -10c, brrrr...
