Read the Sky
- Haze reduces contrast; go night for sparkle.
- Wind chills the 86th; consider the 102nd.
- Low clouds: delay for clearing or go for mood shots.
Forecast → Choice Matrix
| Forecast | Choice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Clear, cold | 102nd add‑on | Long sightlines; warmer than 86th |
| Hot, hazy | Night visit | Lights cut through haze |
| Windy | 102nd or later night | Less wind; calmer air |
| Mixed clouds | Sunset slot | Drama in the sky |
Flexible tickets (AM/PM) are your weather insurance.
Practical Tips
- Check wind speed; bring layers even in summer.
- After rain, expect crisp air and great reflections.
- If plans shift, pair ESB with a nearby indoor stop (Library, Grand Central) and try later.
Bottom Line
Adapt and you win — the skyline rewards those who pivot.
