One of the most recognizable landmarks in New York City, The Empire State Building is a monument to superb engineering and design. Built in 1931, it has graced the New York City skyline and a host of logos, T-shirts, buttons and many other items meant to remind you of New York City.
Take a ride up to the Observatory, and you'll get a bird's eye view of the Big Apple, and beyond.
Want to really see the city shine? Time your visit for dusk, and watch the city lights come out. The view is fantastic any time of year!
