Empire State Building

One of the beloved and world-recognized landmarks of NY, a popular film location and a great example of architectural genius is surely the Empire State Building. With its 1454 ft of height it dominates the skyline of Manhattan and draws from 10 to 20 thousands of visitors daily. Erected in the era of skyscraper wars, the Empire State Building defeated the world's then tallest construction of the Art Deco, the Chrysler Building, and has made its own steep way into the NY cityscape. Once you're there, let the speed elevators take you to the 86th floor where the visitors access the observatory with glass-enclosed viewing areas and outdoor promenades for some stunning views over the Big Apple. On a clear day, you can see up to 80 miles in almost any direction.
