Yes, it's nice to see someone on these forums who genuinely lives near the city and posts their own content.

Thank you QUEENSNYMAN once more!

Isn't it?


I'll post some more of my visit to the observation deck, been meaning to get to these. As I said before, the Empire State still holds its own with the new observation decks coming to town.

Wow the Empire State Building would have still been amazing without the spire. So glad they put that on though.

City of spires

Yeah, both the spire and the antenna make a difference in appearance.

I had mixed feelings about the renovation and change in windows, but it doesn't affect the building overall. And the finished product at the top is worth it. I want them to add the option of visiting the 103rd floor to the public, and not just the VIPs.

I was way overdue as well, hadn't been in years. But it's great, and has that history that sets it apart from the new decks.
