I visited NYC with a buddy around 1987, and he had a friend that worked maintenance in the WTC. He showed us around a bit, including the observation deck. Then he checked a nondescript door, and it opened. He told us to follow him, and we walked up the steps to open roof top!
There were a few other people around, and it wasn’t prohibited to go up there, but it was closed most of the time due to weather and wind, so they didn’t promote it, and even he had never been up there.
I stood in one place and took a series of photos in a circle, a pre-digital panoramic shot. It was a cloudy day, but I could see the entire city. Those photos are buried somewhere, but when I find them, I’ll scan and post them.
