Empire State Building

Wow, writing these reviews has really made me want to get on a plane and get over to NYC! Now there's loads to do in NYC but this one is on the must-do list (unless you're very afraid of heights) - the Empire State Building, ocne again the tallest in New York. This is an art deco building from the '30's, located on 34th street, it's also near Macy's and lots of other shops. It's 86 stories high and you can get an excellent view of the city and beyond, especially on a clear day. During peak times, the queue to get in can be pretty long, so leave yourself some time. You can go up there till pretty late at night - would recommend getting up there for sunset (a ...  Read the complete review

This year Mr Tart and myself found ourselves in New York (well, I mean we had planned to be there!). I'd been a couple of times before but Mr Tart had never been so I designated the Empire State Building (ESB) as a must see. SOME FACTS: The ESB was built in 1930. At the time it was the world's tallest building and it is still up there in the tallest buildings list (currently number 15). The ESB is 1472 ft tall (if you include the antenna) and there are 102 floors. LOCATION: Ok so you may have guessed that the ESB is in New York City! It is at 350 5th Avenue and the intersection with 34th Street. Trust me you can't miss ...  Read the complete review

I think when most people travel to New York going to the Empire State Building is top of their things to do list....my husband and I were no different. We went to New York for a four night, five day visit and it was just spectacular, the best city in the world. Five days is no where near long enough to see everything New York has to offer, I will definetely be going for a return visit. The Empire State Building is one of the first things we went to see. The Empire State Building is the tallest building in New York and is on 350 Fifth Avenue, between 33rd/34th street. It was the tallest building in the world when it was first built and after 9/11 is now ...  Read the complete review

================== Empire State Building ================== I think everyone has heard of the Empire State Building, it got its name because one of New York's nicknames is 'The Empire State', and this building is pretty much the monument of New York. For over forty years it was the tallest building in the world, until the North Tower of the Trade Centre was built. It lost its title for almost 30 years until the destruction of the world trade centre in 2001, and now remains as the tallest building in New York City however not in the world anymore, and definitely not in America as the Chicago Willis Tower over towers it. ...  Read the complete review

The Empire State Building, currently the tallest building in New York. It is located in the Midtown area of Manhattan, on 5ht Avenue and 34th Street. From afar, you can't really miss it, it is rather big at 102 stories high. Once you start to get closer though, it is pretty easy to miss it. From looking at the bottom, it does not look as majestic as looking up the building. When we went, it was shrouded in scaffolding, which had various advertisements on it. Maybe once the scaffolding is gone, it will look as good as the top. It is designed in the classic wedding cake style to enable more sun and light to get to street level.
