At Fifth Avenue
and 34th Street stands New York Citys most famous fixture - starring in over 90 movies, a star of gigantic proportions - The Empire State Building.
Once again the
worlds tallest skyscraper in NYC (it was for 40 years until they built
the World Trade Center) 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, we'll head downstairs for
our tickets to the observation levels.
Lines get pretty long,
especially during summer and the holiday season.
But you can fit
a trip here any time into your itinerary, theyre open from 10am
until midnight weekdays and 9:30am to midnight on weekends.
