Yesterday I went to the Empire State Building with my friend, and fellow intern, Nick! We went after dark to get the best views from the top. The observatory didn't disappoint! Apparently, everyone else had the same idea so the lines were getting pretty serious right after we slipped through. The 86th floor observatory was packed, but we opted to visit the 102nd floor observatory as well which is smaller and enclosed but the view from up there ... wow!
We were able to see all the way across the Hudson River as well as full length views of the Brooklyn Bridge. I was able to spot Times Square by all the bursts of light coming up from the thicket of skyscrapers on the west side. Central Park was lined with street lights all the way up the middle so that was easy to spot as well. We just had a really great time and the exit was through the gift shop so of course I had to buy postcards for my niece and nephew ... of course!
