Re: NWR:how long do i need to
It all depends on how long you want to stay up there--there are I believe three levels up there you can go on. You can either buy tickets on-line or right there at Rockefeller. Either way, you should be fine. It's really pretty up there and you should go to the top, which is through a set of stairs outside...it is windy though.
They are sometimes giving away $3 off coupons around the area too, so if you are in the city and haven't bought tickets yet you can keep an eye out.

Re: NWR:how long do i need to
if you're taking the train in, the LIRR has a package that includes tix to Top of the Rock...for me, it was $6 more than the train ticket alone...IMO, totally worth it! Its about $20/pp if you just buy tix there!
We took about 90 minutes. There was no line and we walked right in, but we just stayed up there for a while, pointed out all the buildings, snuggled to stay warm, etc.

its a shorter line if you already have tickets....
and I bought the combo tickets at the train station (from the little machine thingy). It was really easy to do - its under 'Manhattan Getaways' on the main screen.
