Me neither. I wonder if and when it is accessible, I couldn't find any info on official sites.
It certainly would be a big experience standing out there and just feel wind.

Did you know that the 103rd floor of the Empire State Building is not open to the public, but is open to celebrities? The space is very small, with a thin walkway going around it and hardly any barrier separating you from the thin air. The barrier only comes up to one's knees, if that. Yesterday our intrepid photographer Katie Sokoler braved the vertigo-inducing space during a VIP tour of the iconic building... and you won't see photos like this anywhere else, because most of the other press people were too scared to go outside to experience, or document it! For those who want to get a similar view, we're told for some extra cash the general public can visit the 102nd floor, which is closed in and significantly less scary.
