Empire State Building

When in New York, the Empire state building is the number one to go. It is a 102 story Art Deco building found on 20 W 34th St. The building was built in a record time since it only took one year to build (1930-1931). The Empire State is the 4th tallest building in NYC, but it is the most iconic building. If one wanted to walk up to the last floor, they would have to take 1,872 steps.

The Empire State offers an observatory that overlooks the whole city. It has some of the best views, and it is the most popular to go to during the night. There are multiple restaurants in the building as well that all overlook the skyline. Every time a celebrity comes to the observatory, they have a unique photo taken of them that they later hang around the building. The overall experience is very worthwhile because it allows you to see the city in a different light.
