From the Halszbstya (Fisherman's Bastion), you see a panorama of the Donau and the entire city of Pest. Awesome view!

But I'm also intrigued about taking pics from in the middle of the skyline. For instance:

Only thing is, they may not be sympathetic to people wanting to take up a table or even space for a tripod mainly to take pictures. i would buy a drink or two or even a meal but even then, they may not be interested.
So are there observational decks in some buildings in Manhattan? Empire State Building is obviously for people to take in views but I would want pictures of the EBS in my pics, close by like in those pictures in the link. Plus, EBS may not allow tripods.

I would like to know where to get those night-time skyline pictures too!
Many thanks.

It was like that in late spring for me as well. Couldn't get a single good shot of HK from the peak because of the haze.

i've always liked "Top of the Rock" better since you can get great shots of the ESB as well as the Statue of Liberty in the same shot if it's a clear day. also better views of Central Park, St. Patricks, Chrysler Bldg., IMHO. I've always had fewer crowds on TOTR."
