Empire State at Night: Romance and Tower Lights

Make It Memorable

• Book AM/PM for night return after sunset.
• Pick a quieter deck corner; move away from elevator flow.
• Check tower light theme — it frames your photos with color.

After your visit, stroll to Bryant Park for a soft‑landing night walk.

Proposal Playbook (Simple + Stress‑Free)

1. Arrive 45 minutes before sunset to secure a spot.
2. Do a “practice panorama” walk; note two backup corners.
3. Pop the question 10–15 minutes after sunset when the city lights bloom.
4. Photograph sequence: wide (context) → medium (faces) → detail (hands).

Discreet Corners

• Opposite the main elevator flow on the 86th.
• 102nd can feel more private but mind reflections for photos.

Photo Prompts for Couples

• Silhouette embrace against downtown lights.
• Hands on railing with bokeh grid.
• Reflection in glass (102nd) to layer faces + skyline.

What to Bring

• A compact layer (it gets breezy).
• Small microfiber cloth for phone/camera lenses.
• A tiny note card — vows read better than phones on windy decks.

Bottom Line

Night calms the city — give yourselves 30 unrushed minutes to simply stand, breathe, and share the view.
