Yes, if you flying over NYC airspace restrictions. If you see the city of New York by altitude over 10,000 feet high. If your planes is almost descent approach into JFK or LGA. I think it is east side where you can good view near LGA or JFK.

If you want go to Empire State Building in Manhattan but, you need purchase the ticket. They will take you up the elevators to observation deck. There is very good view at observation deck is on 86th floors. It is very long way up on the top floor of Empire State Building. So enjoyed for your trip to NYC.
