New York City has the world's most recognized skyline. Its buildings soar upward, as if sprouting. This occurs in two Manhattan clusters, midtown and downtown, with a "valley" of low buildings in between.
Honorable mentions:
To enjoy the New York skyline view at its spine-tingling best, you must know both the best times.
During
the day
The most sensational daytime views occur on sunny days, particularly in the morning (when looking west) and late afternoon (east).
At
night
However, the best evening viewing time is not so obvious. It's incredibly romantic on workday nights but rather humdrum on Saturday, Sunday and holiday nights. Reason: When the New York office workers go home, the lights are kept on for the evening cleaning crews. On non-work nights, the crews stay home and you cannot see the fabled New York curtain of diamonds.
The New York skyline drastically changed that day as the twin 110-floor towers of the World Trade Center collapsed as a result of terrorist attacks. Loss of life was staggering.
A new, higher, and more dramatic structure for the World Trade Center site is in the beginning construction stage.
