Some places are just absolutely amazing to visit such as the Empire State Building
http://www.esbnyc.com/ in New York City. With its unbelievable view of the city of New York, the Empire State Building is definitely a “must-see” when visiting New York. The construction of the Empire State Building began in March of 1930 on the site of the old Waldorf-Astoria Hotel at 350 Fifth Avenue at 34th Street. It was completed 14 months later in May, 1931. Designed by the architectural firm of Shreve, Lamb, & Harmon Associates, the Empire State Building, at 102 stories, was the tallest building in the world until the completion of the first tower of the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan in 1972. The total cost to construct the skyscraper was $40,948,000, including the cost of the land. The building alone was constructed with a little over $24,000,000. The onset of the depression significantly reduced the amount needed to construct the building. The total height of the building is 1,454 feet. The 86th floor observatory, where visitors can overlook the Chrysler Building, Harlem River and other scenes of New York City, is 1,050 feet above ground. There are 102 floors and 6,500 windows. Since it was first built, the Empire State Building has lit up the New York City skyline in a diverse array of colors and designs, with an appeal like no other building could have.
Since 1931 taller buildings have been erected, but perhaps none remain as famous as the Empire State Building. There is also deep the history of the building, which includes the mishap, when in 1945 at the end of WWII, an Army Air Corps bomber plane crashed into the 79th floor in a dense fog. Since 1931, the building has also acted as the official welcoming landmark of New York to many of the world's most renown political and entertainment figures, like Prince Charles, Queen Elizabeth and Nikita Khrushchev. The Empire State Building is has amazing sight scenes to view. I would advise for someone to explore the Empire State Building as one of the first things one visits when arriving in New York.
