Yesterday dawned clear & sunny so I decided it was the perfect day to go up the Empire State Building to see New York from a different perspective.
The first viewing platform is on the 86th floor & going up your ears pop every 30 floors. As you step out the lift you can immediately feel the building swaying slightly - a little bit like being on a pier!! Definitely not a good feeling for anyone who suffers even slightly from motion sickness. Fortunately the views are spectacular....firstly north over the Upper West & East sides with Central Park in the middle.
Next views of the Chrysler building with the Queensboro Bridge in the background...
Next a hazy view south over the Financial District where the apartment is and my second view of the Statue of Liberty...
Next a view down over the streets from the 86th floor..
And it's a little crowded up here....
Next stop Macy's department store for a bit of mindless shopping...
All in all a good day!!!!
