Quick Compare
| Deck | Character | Strength | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESB 86th | Open‑air classic, Midtown epicenter | Feel the city wind/sound | First NYC visit |
| ESB 102nd | Glass capsule, long sightlines | Winter clarity, calm air | Purists, cold days |
| Top of the Rock | Framing ESB itself | Best ESB hero shots | Photographers |
| One World | Downtown perspective | Harbor/bridges vistas | Lower Manhattan focus |
If you want ESB in your skyline shots, add Top of the Rock.
Decision Flow
- Want open air + Midtown grid energy? → ESB 86th.
- Need warmth + long‑range clarity? → ESB 102nd.
- Want ESB in the frame? → Top of the Rock.
- Love harbor/bridges and Downtown? → One World.
Combo Strategies
- ESB (day) + Top of the Rock (sunset) for hero shots.
- ESB 86th (sunset) + 102nd (night) for contrast.
- One World (day) + ESB (night) for two city moods.
Bottom Line
Every deck has a voice — pick the one that tells your story, or pair two for contrast.
