Empire State Building, New York City

This is a beautiful location to see all of the views of the city. I thought the city would block them but that was not the case. The views are outstanding however it was not really made for shorter children as it seems hard for them to see due to safety walls. Be aware of the painted ceiling when you enter the building. The gold design is fantastic. The displays of photos are also well done and show the actual work being done. The lack of ropes and harnesses in the old photos make me tremble but they are showing the time period when this building was built. This gem has been well taken care of and the building is loved and maintained at a high level. The 102 floor was well worth the extra amount to view the city higher up. It was a delight and a highlight.

Perfect way to cap off an evening (as long as the weather is good). Be wary of staff who take their job almost too seriously when it comes to security and moving people along. Once you get past that gauntlet, the view from the top is outstanding. Bonus points for very little wind up there (I ordered that ahead of time).

Excellent views of NY in this iconic skyscraper. Great to get to rooftop on late evening so that you can catch the sunsetting and later the closed night. The building has its charm too, it looks solid, with so many concrete, iron, marble and bronze everywhere. Love this mid twenty century style!

Few sights rival the splendor of an illuminated Empire State Building on a clear New York night. It may not be New York City’s tallest building, but it’s possibly its most visited and photographed. Plenty of offices here. One of my best friends work at Shutterstock located in one of the floors here. Pretty awesome to get to work every day while smiling tourists are excited in line to visit the top floors.

This is an iconic building in NYC. You have to go to the top of it to catch a good glimpse of this area. Its lighting changes colors for different special occasions. You can literally spend a good few hours here especially at night.
