This is the best way to experience Rockefeller Center. Instead of going to the top of the rock, waiting in line, and being subjected to hoardes of people...simply order a drink in the bar at the Rainbow Room and enjoy the same view from 2 floors down--you'll probably even save money. They also offer reserved tables on the terrace for an especially quiet vantage point. Be warned there is a minimum spend of $65 per person at the reserved tables--but a drink or two and an appetizer hits the minimum pretty quick.
