I’m going to NYC with a friend for a week in June. I’ll finally be able to do this! :)
How to go to the top of the Empire State Building.
How I did it: Went to New York with some family members for a couple of days and just went to the top of the building!
The view is FANTASTIC! Had a great time! Especially my nephews.
Sun set is best.
Lessons & tips: Go on a good weather day!

Went up to the top on 24/08/08 at about 11pm and the view was spectacular. Night is definitely the best time to go, when the whole of New York is lit up. Magic.
Some of the best photos I have taken in New York are from the top of the Empire State Buildings. The queues are long an tiring but take an entertaining friend and the time will pass quickly. It is worth the wait.
no movie or picture does it justice. it had snowed on the day i was up there, it was a magnificent sight.
So I have lived in NEW YORK MY whole life and i have never been to the empire state building. I find it sad that all tourist visit and have these amazing pictures and yet i have never been there. How can i call myself a new yorker… sigh.
I really wanna take the time to go!

I did this on a clear November evening in 2006. The top was lit up with red, white and blue as the elections were being held the following day. It may have been dark, but New York isn’t short of lights. You can see right down Broadway and Fifth Avenue – if you can cope with going to the edge of the viewing platform.
totally worth it..amazing view :D :D and there’s railings all round so no danger of falling for those scared of heights lol =)
I live 2 hours south of NYC and never get up there. It will now happen more often! Just a grand day out all around.
