Depending on what you're looking at, the view is quite impressive. The book I linked to offers many deep sky objects that are easily resolved with binos. Perhaps the finest to view right now is Pleiades. Even with the light pollution, I can lookout my backdoor and glimpse Pleiades every night.

Perhaps it's a cliché because it is always mentioned, but the Great Orion Nebula is a fascinating sight with binos.

Ultimately, your viewing experience will depend on factors such as light pollution and weather.
