At Fifth Avenue and 34th Street stands New York City�s most famous fixture - starring in over 90 movies, a star of gigantic proportions - The Empire State Building.
Having held the record as the world�s tallest skyscraper for 40 years - the symbol of this city was constructed in only two years - 1930 to 31 and the 1,453 foot colossus instantly became a tourist magnet.
Even King Kong came to visit!
Entering the spacious Art Deco lobby lathed in 10,000 square feet of marble,
Your first stop is the 86th floor observatory.
The enclosed area contains the gift shop but the real fun comes when you
step outside onto the city�s best wrap-around terrace.
You�ll soon come to realize The Empire State Building offers some of the most remarkable views of the city.
This is only the 86th floor. Let's go to the top
Another elevator is going to take us up 16 floors to the 102nd floor observatory
This is completely enclosed and much smaller. But you can get some interesting views from here.
You'll be surprised how often The Empire State Building comes into view from so many areas in the city.
